1. Bigotry is always wrong. Why are you playing "who is more oppressed?"

3. Actually that is a good point.

Man, when I think of George Bush Sr. saying Atheists are not even citizens! That is some fucked up shit!

5. True. However, didn't Jessie Ventura admit he was Atheist?
I think that was after he was elected though.

6. I did.
I'm not Christian and my son is an atheist. He decided to be an atheist when he was six years old. He is routinely verbally attacked for his belief, especially here in the south.

It's no joke. I know exactly what you're talking about.

7. As a gay atheist, I think this poll is foolish.
