Anything but an Atheist
This video is depressing and the amount of ignorance, discrimination, and hatred toward Atheists is amazing. It boggles my mind how we can be the most hated and mistrusted minority group despite being the “least violent, most tolerant, most intelligent, most progressive” minority group out there.
To me science and religion don’t mix. If science showed even a sliver of evidence of a God I would feel different, but the more we learn, the more obvious it is that there isn’t a God. I don’t understand how I’m part of a minority because I believe in science, but maybe someday the majority of the populace will wake up to science.
Thankfully I don’t live in the bible belt, so I haven’t been discriminated against too bad. I still believe the reason we were denied the ability to adopt a child was because we left the religious questions blank since they didn’t apply to us, but I don’t really have proof of this. That is just my speculation. My family is pretty battshit crazy about religion though. When I’m hanging around with my family, and reading their ignorance on Facebook, is about the only time I have to deal with religion. I just keep my mouth shut when I’m around my family, and chuckle when I read their Facebook comments.

Well, I agree that atheists should not be discriminated against. But to put pictures of famous people who are atheists and then to imply – well – what exactly are you trying to imply. That because someone famous believes this or that, that I should think the same way? Is that an example of atheist logic?

no, it’s prooving that atheists are not bad people by showing you many people who you already knew were not bad. It’s not just because they are famous. the reason he showed famous people is because more people know them, the more likley that YOU know them.

“Atheist logic” is to think for yourself. I didn’t make the video, so I don’t know what they meant to imply, but I’m sure they are just showing people that everybody knows to show that there are Atheists all around. I don’t think showing strangers would have the same affect.

Exactly – The intended effect being? C’mon, you know the answer. No need to be embarrassed.
