I think that was probably hyperbole seeing that the likelihood of having a SAM handy is probably close to zero. Some of us are just frustrated that atheists and muslims seem to have more rights these days than Christians.
Everybody needs to have the same rights. Remember, the unconstitutional requirement for religious belief to hold an office or position of trust in some states was only overruled relatively recently in our country’s history. There was official persecution. Unfortunately, some atheists (not these ones, who are just expressing their opinions) feel some retribution is in order. That is of course just as wrong as affirmative action.
Don’t equate all atheists with anti-theists or anti-Christians. That’s as fair as equating all Christians with the Westboro Baptists.
