“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.

So, wait, now you are admitting it is a religion, just not a formal one? You've already backtracked.

Yes, everyone ha to pick a side. Even the people I mentioned before that never think about whether God exist. They have to pick a side, I don't know about winning. Some of us just do not even like the sport and want no part of it AT ALL.

Well, you are a part of it no matter what you decide. You want to declare yourself a genius, and that ypu are better than all of us peasants. You can believe that, but your are still picking a side. 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.

I never said you didn't have the right to believe in whatever you want. Quite the opposite, I am saying it's foolish for you to ask your religion to be declared "right" by the government and the universe. You cn believe whatever you want, you just want to be showered with praise, and have more rights for it.

I've been barked orders at, talked down to, and been Karened to by atheists more than any other religions. Since you "know you are right" you get to control the rest of us.

As your brother Mao said to the Dalai Lama, “Religion is poison.” As the communists in the 20th century killed millions and millions of the unbelievers in atheism, and maybe one day you guys will exterminate all of us, but until then, just try to act human, unlike the exalted beings you think you are.
