My point, rug, is that in this society, being a believer somehow gets one the assumption that they are a more compassionate, caring, and ethical human than someone who does not believe the same thing or does not believe at all. These stories serve to show that that is in fact, simply not the case. And until we all stop making that assumption, these stories will continue to be held up to the light of day.

A level playing field is all that is being asked for. Why should people need to fight so hard just to get a fair shake?
