What? Since when is religion a social class? If nothing you can see religious people on this forum defending bigot and his "Shithole countries" remark, so in a way DA is fighting against bigotry by wanting less Christians.
Since forever? At least in the USA, religion is considered a social class - like race, disability, gender, orientation - with regards to discrimination in the eyes of the law.
That conservative assholes are chipping away at what discrimination means, or what it consists of, or who can do it is a completely separate argument.

Your teacher's having a kid and will likely raise that kid in that religion. So fucking what?
Perhaps DA just wants to talk about religious upbringing and her frustration probably comes from realization that, because of truly high number of people in her country being taught nonsense as truth, her country will probably never make a significant contribution to scientific research and have a boost in technological global economy market. Unfortuneatly it is a problem teaching kids religious nonsense, a problem that is addressed by many smart people like Bill Nye
and Lawrence Krauss
Now maybe we could help DA by giving her some good advice of how to help her country make more atheists and in that way stand on it's feet. Mayve she could start an atheist webpage in her country.
Maybe she could/should. However, the best advice I can give is for her to stop dwelling on the small shit she can't change, and to keep her head down until she can provide for herself. Survival - both in a physical/housing/monetary sense and mental sense - should be paramount right now.
