The contrast between the US and the UK is rather amazing. It's deemed relatively normal to be an atheist here, whereas over in the US, you'd probably get persecuted for being who you are. This post along with your username is so ridiculously laughable. The username was in reference to supernatural assumptions and such. It may be perceived as ironic, but I was speaking in a somewhat general context describing how public hate of atheists are much more pronounced than of the UK - not legal persecution. It's poorly worded, I'll admit. Why do you feel the constant need to attempt to berate me? Is there any good reason for it? You've already done this on another thread. On topic: Lurkers who contribute nothing. ? I'm not personally going after you or anything, if that's what you're getting at, I don't know who you even are. It's just funny how your username is "assume nothing" and then you go ahead and make a huge assumption that in America atheists would "probably get persecuted" for being atheists.
