"I haven't seen any religion go to jail lately."
Why don't you respond to the those who have suffered because of their deeply held beliefs (see above) and get off the "jail" and "concentration camp" lingo. Persecution takes many forms.
"And by removing government perks from organizations that discriminate against the nonreligious is punishment only..."
The Boy Scouts didn't discriminate against the "nonreligious." They discriminated against a lifestyle that was publically broadcast and that they...and many, see as corrupting, especially to young men. You don't have to be religious to have this belief, as I am an example of that...which is exactly my point: Liberals and atheists as yourself are attacking anyone with any moral standard and calling it religious.

The Boy Scouts in San Diego lost their use of city facilities
because they refused to allow atheist kids to participate.
