[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because non-believers -- while the fastest growing religious category -- are still a minority fighting for rights and acceptance.

Because open forums are not meant to be echo chambers.

Because disagreement is not "trashing".

Could go on...[/quote]

You don't have to "fight" for anything. [b]You don't have fewer rights than people of faith. Religious people understand that there are people who are without faith. They accept that. [/b]

As for trashing... what else do you call it when, during a discussion thread between posters about  _________ (fill in the blank with any religious matter of your choice, a poster pops in with "you DO realize there IS no God, and you people are all crazy, right?" Because that happens in almost every thread I read.

I have no interest in baking. And it would be a little screwy if I constantly chimed in on threads about baking, telling others how baking isn't real. [/b] [/quote]

Np to this post. That is completely false - I grew up Muslim and am an atheist now - I think your attitude that religion doesn't affect the non-religious is a highly privileged one from you very likely being of a Christian background. The experiences of minority religions have and continue to be affected by dominant groups. And the experience of the non-religions/atheist continues to be affected by dominant groups. The separation of church and state in this country is such a false thing in practice, that I'd MUCH rather churches and other religious organizations be fully taxed, and also be fully open about their meddling in politics.

And your baking analogy doesn't hold. I may not eat or like the bread you personally make, but I'm interested in the source and processing of the ingredients, because it affects our entire food system. [/quote]
