    Well I’d say being anti religion is not the same. For one it’s punching up at the moment. I don’t care what you practice with yourself but growing up in a system that uses Christianity as a cudgle has really pissed me off. I also don’t agree with those morons saying homosexuality is a choice, that’s categorically false imo. To be honest I don’t feel that religion should be a protected class when I see it solely used to hurt others. I think you’re also just trying to associate me with those bigots for some weird reason and honestly I don’t appreciate it.

      Yup, I covered your response in my comment above “you’re right”, “I’m wrong”, “yada yada yada”. For my own part I realised anti-thiests were, by and large, just another load of bigots that justify their bigotry as being “justified” or “not the same” like all bigot do. Some idiots, like me get taken in. Anyway 15 years later my then idol, Richard Dawkins, famous anti-thiest comes out as a transphobe too. Who knew bigots are bigots right? I’m just saying if you don’t like being compared to ducks stop quacking.

      Also, you replied to yourself. Maybe you forgot to sign in to an alt, maybe it’s a failed edit, maybe it’s a bug. As to your response “blacks have weaponsied racism against the whites and use it as a cudgel” is not an uncommon sentiment, “feminism is being used to oppress men” is another, you’re still quacking.

      If you don’t believe religion should be a protected class you agree people should be able to oppress you for your athiesm. Athiesm shouldn’t be seen as a default any more than white, straight, cis, able-bodied, etc. “I don’t think religion should be protected class because I am persecuted for my religious stance” is an interesting position to take. Have you considered anti-thiesm isn’t about defence at all? Quack

      When religion is used to deny others their human rights then religion can fuck right off. I don’t see any of these other protected classes using that protection as an offensive tool.
