But you certainly use them to make a point about the "rampant" sexism in atheism.

And if you are a member of the RCC and give them your money and/or time, it is your house.

And by that respect, I would have to call the FFRF as my house. Gladly.

It is you that would not want to measure the pigs proportionately. You have the numbers and many more centuries of shit and pretty damn heinous crimes.
