when an oppressed people "fight back", they are often irrational and become little dictators that they're rejecting

Why get bent out of shape by something you consider fiction?
well even ignoring all of the legal issues i have to face due to people following that book, the social factors are pretty major
it's not as much the BOOK itself as it is the PEOPLE who have oppressed [atheist] for his/her life of atheism

when people reach a level of maturity/enlightenment/security, i presume it fades (as it did with me)
but it's a matter of responding to being oppressed. the non-religious are the most discriminated group in america

Maybe you could explain how atheists are oppressed. I just don't see it. But I also don't consider social isolation oppression.

The "oppression" often stems from the way their parents treated them. The parents of atheists often do not approve of it and force their children to go to church whether they want to believe or not. They are taught in their religion classes that people who don't believe are "sinners". They then project this lack of understanding and disapproval of their parents onto all Christians. They get the "victim" mentality where they assume everyone is out to get them and everyone is against them, constantly trying to stifle the creative, free-thinking, atheist. They assume their parents forced them to go to church because they were evil, bigoted Christians, rather than because they were loving parents that wanted their child to have the same morals they did and to attend church as a family activity. They then take this misconstrued hate and project it on the entire religious community.

well i wanted to go to a bar past 2 am saturday night or sunday...couldn't
i wanted to buy some liquor before noon yesterday...couldn't
my gay friends can't get married by a church willing to marry them...b/c of a religious interpretation
there are examples of perfectly capable parents losing custody b/c of a non-religious belief system
atheists can't form official groups at public schools like the federation of christian athletes or other religious organizations
the governor of alabama said this on his inaguration day:
quote:
"So anybody here today who has not accepted Jesus Christ as their savior, I'm telling you, you're not my brother and you're not my sister, and I want to be your brother," he said.
insert any other group...blacks, jews, muslims, latinos, etc, and imagine the response
those are examples of government oppression

social oppression isn't just isolation
non-religious are almost de facto banned from public service. dumb religious people would rather vote for lying hypocrites than an honest person who lives more in line with their moral code
Atheists are as distrusted as rapists

the public distrusts atheists as much as rapists
so let me rephrase
atheists are the most discriminated group in america who isn't' discriminated against due to crimes (and some criminals are less discriminated against compared to atheists). for example, criminals can run for public office, atheists essentially cannot.

go look at laws that are purely religious based in nature and have no societal aim outside of religion

I think it is dumb to pretend that america has a religion to attack. Even if you say we are a "christian" nation, what does that mean. There are so many sects of christianity that disagree with each other. If it was just christians left on earth y'all would be killing each other again.

That's oppression?

That is societal and is independent of religion. Your gay friends are treated the same whether they are atheist or Christian.

bullshite. There was an atheist club at my high school are there a similar clubs at LSU.

Ridiculous. Those are example of people whining over trivial problems that are almost all independent of religious beliefs.

This is the antithesis of Jesus' message.

A student wanting to read his bible in school during a free reading period should be a non issue. The fact that it was made an issue is a problem.
