K, it depends if you interpret atheist as a stance against theism... which I'd hope you'd have some reason for, or as a position of respectable ignorance of theism.
You can become a Christian as young as 3 so the experts tell me (women ). Everyone is born atheist.
"God has no grandchildren" ... Which is frustrating as hell for Christians with kids.
Your only saving grace is that you are a fellow ABBA fan. But I am not telling you you are wrong because I am a fascist, I am telling you you got it wrong for the same reason you rightfully know Hindus and Muslims got it wrong. I simply reject one more god claim than you do.
All god claims in human history, from polytheism to modern monotheism, are merely mental sugar pills humans make up to ignore their finite existence. I would highly recommend more people read Sagan's "Pale Blue Dot" speech which aptly points out our collective species history in the grand scope of the cosmos.
It was understandable in antiquity that people believed those things because they didn't know better, but we know better now.
Our species is not living in an era where we can afford religious and political divisions. If we do not stop this bullshit we will ruin this planet and destroy ourselves and it will not matter at that point who wins.
I am not out to destroy your rights, I am out to destroy your logic.
