I'm still annoyed that the US adopted In God We Trust as our national motto in the 1950's. No idea how that got through and wasn't deemed unconstitutional.
If only the rest of the US could have made it as explicit as Vermont did:
No person ought, or of right can be compelled, to attend any religious worship, or erect, or support any place of worship, or maintain any minister, contrary to the dictates of his conscience.
I think get what you’re saying. Freedom from religion should be codified in some manner, and atheism should be afforded the same protections and rights. Right?
Kind of, but not really. Look at France, they have freedom from religion. They're not allowed to be religious fanatics in public. It's why they banned the burkini.
I always find it amusing when theists use the word religion as a pejorative. Ok buddy, that says a lot more about you than it does about the subject matter.
Its not necessarily you, but your community and allies are using force to make people comply with your beliefs whereas the religious very rarely do this (in america). Its soft force, but definitely force is being used.
