FFRF is pushing communism. We don't need their censorship or them telling us what we can or cannot do. People can think and decide for themselves.
Bullsh*t!
I know you hate the fact that atheists exist, but saying government should stay out of religion, is not a call to ban religion.
And I already pointed out to you dictators who USED religion to gain support. BOTH Stalin and Hitler used the support of their respective Christian populations to gain and keep power.
Authoritarianism is about silencing all dissent, but Authoritarians like any dictatorship, will use any support they can to keep power, including the religious.
Cuba is a Communist country right?
Well, will you look at this?

Looks like Stalin had some Christian fans himself.

Looky here. Even Hitler is shaking hands with the clergy.

Like I said, authoritarianism is about absolute power, not religion itself. If Martin Luther King Jr, or Malala for that matter with the attitudes of empathy they all had/have grew up in those countries, they'd be persecuted along with me.
All those dictatorships still had plenty of religious people who supported the ideas of those monsters. SEE LINKS ABOVE.
Now let me make this clear for you. I am an atheist. But I have absolutely NOTHING in common with dictators like Hitler or Stalin or Castro. Nor do the people at FFRF.
Secular does not mean anti religion, it merely means anti "sectarian" pro neutral.
Never once have I ever heard any one of their staff ever call for a forced end to any religion. I am quite sure every one of their staff is for freedom of religion, and your ability to attend a privately owned place of worship. I am quite sure they would never call for burning down the estimated privately owned 360,000 houses of worship of all religions and sects in America.
Now please stop making yourself look like a fool.
Back to telling me what I think. I don't "hate" atheists or "hate" that they choose to be atheists. It's their choice and I imagine that if they are, then they have a reason for believing that way. What I don't like is when you get select ones pandering and/or suggesting others are dumb for having a different perspective. Or suggesting that "science" somehow favors them.
