Why do atheists get singled out like this?

PC is part of the problem in that it is a subtler form of irrationality because it allows the larger irrationality to continue rather than "hurt someone's feelings." I would say anyone who would draft or vote positively on a bill that could harm or cause the death of people based on religious belief is a good example of lunacy and should be called as such. People like that need to be in rubber rooms, not in positions of power. A milder example would be getting chastised for saying something negative about someone even though it is true. Which is more important, short-term hurt feelings or the long-term negative impact?[/quote]

You've said it's part of the problem, but I'm wondering why you think it developed in the first place. It didn't just pop out of the sky unbidden. It developed as a historical reaction. Why do you think it did so?
