(49,533 posts)that faces negative attitude from large numbers of Americans, what would be the reaction to someone so steadfastly asserting that there's really no problem; that it's not legal to discriminate, therefore it doesn't happen, etc.?
If someone were to post in a thread about racial minorities facing discrimination, saying, well, you minorities don't have it so bad, a few firings here or there, you know there are laws against that, so you shouldn't make such a big deal about it... is there any doubt such a person would be labeled a bigot, and probably forced from the site?
But when it's atheists who are the minority, meh, no big deal. Pile on. Such hatred, I just don't get it. From the alleged followers of the Prince of Peace, the God of Love. They show their common roots with the Pat Robertsons and Fred Phelpses of the world when they do that, and it's downright scary.
