Is it a response to religious people who think atheists are less moral? I would rather not dignify that. If you wanna address that argument then bring it to them but to use that as your motivation is low rent.
Religious folks think it's perfectly acceptable to:
- openly pray for people.
- tell you that they are going to pray with you
- assume everyone believes in god just because they do
- assume everyone is supposed to believe in god just because they do
- openly shun you when they find out you don't believe in god
- make faces of disgust when they are told you don't believe in god
- openly mock you for not believing in their god
- stand on a corner with a bible, preaching to passersby
- openly thank god for survivors of a tragedy, while not blaming god for that tragedy
- believe in a white jesus even though he supposedly comes from a region where white people are not indigenous to
- teach young children that the flood was a beautiful story about Noah's Arc.
- indoctrinate young children into believing their brand of bullshit
You know what else is low rent? Trying to send a message that atheists are somehow bad or evil because they rightfully speak up about their atheism.
