I'll just repost my theory here:
The thing is, a Christian can't push his religion, but they're the majority anyways. Not being able to thumb bibles in schools doesn't hurt them any.
But Islam? Or Mormon's, Jews, or any other minority? Them. It silences.
No chance of converting someone away from Christianity, if no one can push their agenda. This only squash's competition.
Of course, the take away here is Freedom from Religion is backed by Christians in secret.
They prohably founded the whole thing, and got an Atheist to front it.

your theory seems to presume that religion-based protest is banned. theres a difference between forcing majority-religion icons into public spaces, and forbidding people from a particular religion the right to protest.
what "freedom from religion" truly means, at least to me, is that if the majority worships cthulu, and lord cthulu forbids the consumption of ice cream, I should still be free to buy ice cream....now I want ice cream
*edit* freedom from religion minus freedom of religion also equals tyranny, depending on how you choose to define freedom.
if you think it means "freedom from persecution for my religion", it does
if you think it means "freedom to refuse to provide you medication because I'm a pharmacist who just converted to scientology", it doesn't

No, it doesn't hurt them not being able to "bible-thump" in school but the force-fed teaching of darwinian evolution bullshit weakens many Christians' faith. That shit shouldn't be being taught in tax-funded schools either since it's not really actual science. It's a tax-funded religion. People who wanna teach it should start their own private school to do it.
It's not right that tax-payers are being forced to pay for that nonsense being taught to their children.
*waits for this post to trigger many atheists and even some so-called "Christians" who buy into the lie (which is easily provable) that that crap is "science"*

If only we (here in the U.S that is) had the Same Protections against Oppressive Politics as we do from Religion.
The Horrible Leftist Fascists of this Nation are far worse then those of the Religious Right the Fear and Mock.

On topic:
I noticed a backlash against the "Freedom from Religion" movement that really took off in the 90s and hit an apex in the 2000s.
Now, it is starting to become discrimination and inappropriate to silence someone about their religion. Sure, they can't preach at work, but identity politics has swung so far in different ways that now it is not okay to come down on someone in the workplace, depending on the place, for having religious beliefs. It is even celebrated and people are encouraged to give special sermons to talk about it.
Muslim: "I am a Muslim and we believe in second chances. Repentance is central to my faith."
Angry Atheist Karen: "How dare you talk about your religion at work! Reporting you to HR!"
HR: "Yo, this is not okay to report this. You're in the wrong. You need to be more accepting of other people's beliefs, backgrounds, and ethnicities. Everyone is different. Don't try to silence someone's religious beliefs again, like this."
Angry Atheist Karen: "B-but, but, but!"
HR: "Shut it."
This is a good move. Perhaps we are moving towards accepting of all things not harmful. That's the best place. We had to go through a shitty politically correct time period to get to the good part. I hope this trend really really takes off. I personally enjoy it when my coworkers give their religious testimony, or even irreligious testimony, in the work place. Tell me their experiences, their faith. I love learning about this stuff. Spirituality is awesome. I resonate more with atheists, though because of my disdain of evil and corruption using religion. But that's...like...a thing Mormons do because that's the entire point of our religion.

Speaking of religion and stuff I have noticed it is more acceptable (from a progressive point of view) to take a big ol' steamy dump on Christianity while staying mum on Islam.
Can someone explain? Thanks!
