[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Many of us atheists come from religious backgrounds, and have lots of direct experience with religion.

And as others have mentioned, many of us are directly impacted by religious imposition upon us, in the United States and elsewhere.

How? You don’t have any examples of how religious people and their beliefs directly impact atheists. You just keep repeating they do.[/quote]

DP - sometimes the impact is in subtle ways, for instance on this forum, where OP (me) asked a question inoffensively and sincerely and received responses that were not in kind.

Here are examples of religious imposition:  mentioning God or Jesus and assuming that other people will agree and/or getting offended if they don't.  Deferring to mentions of religions other than your own, but not to mentions of atheism. Not liking it when it's mentioned that  God is supernatural, like fairies, Santa Claus, etc.[/quote]

^^ This is the answer atheists give when asked what human rights they are denied in the United States and worldwide.

None of those things, if they happen, violate your human rights.

The above is in response to give "examples of how religious people and their beliefs directly impact atheists".  Nothing about human right in the US and worldwide.  Check back to see for yourself. I hope pp is not saying that it's OK to treat atheists poorly as mentioned above because "None of those things, if they happen, violate your human rights."[/quote]
