Every day, religious folks complain about being oppressed. In America, this pathetic complaint is usually the result of them not being able to force their religion down other people’s throats. This, they call “Anti-Christian Bias”. While it’s true that in some parts of the world, it can be dangerous to profess a faith that it different from the norm, there is way more danger in being labelled an atheist than other beliefs. Not only are we in danger of being attacked for simply rejecting the ridiculous claims of their religions, in places like Indonesia, they can’t even admit that we exist at all.
Last month, two activists attempted to petition the Constitutional Court to allow non-believers the right to include their lack of faith on government documents. The Court refused, saying that religions are “a necessity”, and that this is mandated by their constitution.
Let’s not forget that this is a country that has strict blasphemy laws. Even sharing atheist content there could get you jail time. It’s yet another pathetic example of how believers have to do everything in their power to deny our existence. The idea that faith is a necessity is something only religious fools believe. Their own fragile understanding of the Universe may be contingent on a big sky daddy, but the rest of us are unimpressed. I feel for my brothers and sisters in a country that wants to jail them for lacking a belief in the ridiculous. Until they are free to profess their lack of belief, the world will continue to be a dangerous place for non-believers.
Hey religious folks that think they are being oppressed: what do you think of the way we’re treated? 10 bucks says you think we deserve it…
