No, they are forcing one specific religion. Everyone else if infidels. There is absolutely a religion in atheism. Atheists have their own beliefs about how the existence is, how people should behave, and acceptable beliefs.
“No, they are forcing one specific religion.”
Wrong, Absolutely wrong. And once again Atheism is NOT a formal religion. How you think about atheism would be the same as claiming everyone who does not believe in Santa Clause are a formal religion. Or everyone who does not believe in the Tooth Fairy are a formal religion.
It is just silly to put the concept into this context. It is illogical and irrational.
You have some idea everyone absolutely must pick a team and pick a side to win the game. No... Some of us just do not even like the sport and want no part of it AT ALL. It is as simple as that. We are just opting out of ALL formal religion and should absolutely have the right to do that if we like without radical persecution or oppression.
