Bring from Alabama, i used to hear street preachers with bullhorns all the freaking time. Never heard an atheist do that.

[bradosentoski]

Me knocking on random doors throughout my neighborhood: “Have you lost Jesus yet?”

[dyanaprajna]

For people who supposedly don't get offended and hate cancel culture, they sure do get offended at the idea of atheism, and want to cancel it

When was the last time you saw a "just because we dont know doesn't mean you can stick your god in it"-billboard

[pelgrim]

It's basically this:
theist: "do you believe in God?"
atheist: "no"
Theist: "Why can't you respect my beliefs????"

[MasterSpade]

typical christian crying -- “What do you mean I can't force people to follow my religious beliefs!? STOP OPPRESSING

[Dumbstuffwatcher]

I keep telling folks in my generally secular community, the Christo-fascists are coming, they're loud and zealous and are not afraid to use violence, and they will clamp down on power while they can, to stop their receding influence

I had some stranger who I was just being polite to in a queue invite me to his Church and when I declined, shook his head in disbelief like his particular Church would make me see the light. Imagine Atheists doing this.

Because when children have nightmares about burning for eternity I have a problem with it

“If you expect me to keep my Atheism quiet, then I expect you to keep your religion quiet.
You have the freedom of religion, and I have the freedom FROM religion.”

“Let me never fall into the vulgar mistake of dreaming that I am persecuted whenever I am contradicted.”
― Ralph Waldo Emerson, Emerson in His Journals

[rustyross]

Why can't they keep their religion to themselves?

[TheQuantumWave]

I challenged a Christian friend who said this to me to wear a t-shirt that said "Proud Atheist" for a week, and I'd wear whatever religious t-shirt he wanted me to for the same week and compare our experiences out in public. Of course, he refused.

[leyrua]

Now I want to go door to door and ask people: "Have you heard the good news? Your soul ISN'T in any danger of being dropped into a burning tar pit for eternity!"

[FrikInCasualMode]

As an atheist, I don't have a huge bell installed on top of my house that I use multiple times every day, to announce the fact my atheist service is about to begin.

[somersetcace]

They act like the Christian Borg - "Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated! Every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess." Then when they get push back it's, "Help!! They wont let us assimilate them! Where's my religious freedom to impose my beliefs on others!?" 🙄

[UselessMagnet]

Of course i won't shut up when I'm constantly questioned about why I'm an atheist, or i hear I don't care about others because of me being an atheist, not gonna let some ass hat pretend they love all say I don't when I'm showing love because i actually care not because I'm forced by fear of hell.

[grantjohnston]

I got a leaflet through the door last week saying "are you ready to meet jesus?"

It almost sounded like a threat 😂

[Alacritous]

Many believers are concerned with how we Atheists comport ourselves. "You should be nicer" they keep telling us, when they really mean "you should be silent"

[skepticusmaximus]

When was the last time an atheist sent their kids to a special scool on Sunday morning to learn that they'll be tortured for eternity if they ever start believing in a god.
