I could whine day and night (I used to) about being a minority, but I don’t. Athiests as well as all minorities need to understand that most “slights” are unintentional, most people don’t “join” a majority to persecute, and everyone has some issues. Most people are just trying to get along in life. The people that just want to stir up trouble, or to persecute, need to be addressed, and I am sure they are. Tolerance goes both ways.
Excellent post.
