One can hide the fact they are gay. One can't hide their race. // Advantage gay

You see hiding one's identity as a benefit?  Really?

Quote:Both are born as they are and they can't change that. // tie
Both face violent hate for being what they are. // tie

You've conflated two things, and then you admit to them being different; which is it?

Quote:Did you know there are 7 states that currently ban atheists from holding elected office?

Holy mother eff!  What does that have to do with anything you're trying to discuss here?

The benefit of being able to hide your identity is that you can choose to come out when it's safe. That's a choice that minority races and ethnicities don't have. 

They are mostly the same, but there is that small difference that I pointed out above.

I was pointing out that us atheists face similar discrimination that gays face. I'm glad that there isn't any physical way to tell that I am an atheist. Definitely helps me avoid discrimination. When my grandma was alive my mom told me never to tell her I was an atheist or grandma wouldn't love me.
