Why do people discriminate against atheists?

I can't answer for MYself? This is an open discussion after all. He's obviously more than welcome to posit his own answer, and I wasn't pretending to speak for him. You need to tone down the assumptions, Gav, and try not to make every post an accusation at me.

Eh, ignore that. Gav's ok, though the points in my last post stand as it pertains to my own response, not pretending to be for him.

What was that?

To be honest Digi, and I mean this in the nicest way it can get a bit tiresome when other users hide behind your knowledge and arguments. I was wondering if he himself actually had a reason for believing that kind of discrimination was wrong.

Though I don't wish to dwell on this becuse I wasn't trying to accuse you of anything.

K, fair enough. I got snippy because it sounded like you thought I was answering for him.

And why not hide behind my arguments? I'm always right.

Yeah but you remember your Uni Tutorials, its no good if one person sits and answers everything and the others just ride along on his coattails.Its bad for them in the long run- they need independent thought 😛 (says a Catholic)

Independent thought is overrated. Follow me instead (says an atheist).

😈

Hey I figure there's only so much evil in the world. If people didn't discriminate against atheists the Third Reich probably would have come back by now. Is that what you want? Do you love Nazis?

F*cking racists . . .

Yeah, not every Joe Nazi is the same.

People discriminate largely because they can and because they have been brainwashed sometime somewhere to hate that which is different from themselves.

We call that brainwashing life and sociological experience.

Jesus never knew what a Nazi was. They did not come into existence until ~2000 years after he died.

You forget, he came back.

Well he must have forgotten something cause he's coming back again. 🤨

In Iran, atheism is a capital crime, as it is in much of the Muslim world. Even in America, there have been many, many cases of discrimination against atheists. Why? what did we do that is so wrong?

And what do people in America ''do'' to atheists that compares to a capital crime in certain muslim countries?
What is it that atheists are leashed of in America today?

Are atheists denied jobs? Threatened with death? Killed? Tortured? Denied right not be believe?
What?
