(9,768 posts)I don't get why you hate atheism so much but the bias here is obvious.
There is no difference at all.
There are people from poor backgrounds (O'Hair) who are atheists. This in and of itself disproves your assertion. And by saying that you are the one being condescending to every atheist of any minority ethnicity and ever gender and marginalizing their experiences.
Again what group GAINS privilege from becoming an atheist in this country?
WHERE in the BIG BAD BOOK of atheism does it say ANYTHING about class or ethnicity? ANYTHING?
You said that "few if any," implying that you think its possible that no atheist is from the working class? You base this on what? Wild speculation? Interviewing every atheist in the country?
The best you have come to proving your point is to allude to a correlation between class and atheism that is not universally true. Again correlation does not mean causation.
All atheism means is a lack of belief in god(s). There is no way to extrapolate from that to class.
