It's illegal to be atheist in these 13 countries

[robvalue]

This law says a lot about the ignorance of the people in charge there, and how petrified they are of anyone disagreeing with them. These are countries I'd never want to go near if I had a choice.

Of course, they haven't the first clue what atheism is either. But that's not surprising, some theists who have been on an atheist forum for years still don't know what it is.

It's funny, in most countries with anti-atheist laws there is no problem with following a deity other than the norm. In Kentucky a sun worshiper is welcome by their laws even though that same person is completely atheistic toward the Jesus that they so covet. It doesn't matter that their 99% atheism doesn't overlap other's 99% atheism, only when someone shouts "the emperor has no cloths!" and has given up on all gods and is 100% atheist is there a problem.

This is why I believe that most theists know deep down that religion is a social con that they daren't admit, but they fear it may be real for someone else.

we have discrimination now.
The duck list getting longer.

when it quacks i'm jumping.

And coming from the same people who enacted slaver and even segregation and
even over all racism i am not surprised at the level of inhumane, arrogant, self righteous, un-intelligent, ignorant, heartless behavior, homophobic, false use of the word "love", and over all discontent of people who are not apart of the norm and they attack anyone and anything they see fit. Behavior like this needs to stop and people need to start using their brains you get 1 life don't fuck up believing in stupid shit and working towards a non existent place like heaven.

yeah true, I'm still jumpin when it quacks.

The sad part about that comment is some theists believe atheists are Satan worshipers. Again i do not believe in him either but he is the only character in the bible i probably respect the most if it turns out to be true and even still its just a made up story.

And of course all of these 13 countries are Islamic. You don't see any other kind of country punishing atheism with death.

"And beyond the Islamic nations, even some of the West's apparently most democratic governments at best discriminate against citizens who have no belief in a god and at worst can jail them for offenses dubbed blasphemy, it said."

No, but plenty of other countries punish it just because they can all the same....

What Western countries would that be?

It's perfectly legal and even socially acceptable to be irreligious in the vast majority of the Western World. It's the other way around for Muslim-majority countries.

A state in the US used to put you in jail for not accepting god is the ultimate authority and needless to say that law has been overturned.
People just hate atheists because they are not delusional like them.

Yes, but now that's all in the past in Western societies. In present time this still happens in Islamic countries.

Not quite. It has more to do with breaking society's norms and taboos.

What do you mean by past i mean we are still a hated minority in the US and even in some Westernized countries. Just because the law was overturned no to long ago it doesn't mean they are making things easier for us. The only real good thing is that well because of the internet and also how much knowledge we know now compared to then we are less ignorant and more and more churches are closing. Southern states tend to be the worst for atheists compared to the north and even still in the north there may be some backlash.
