    You can’t be an atheist without calling out religions for the hate, war, and genocide that they cause.

    If it’s a jewish person that you’re talking to, you’ll get accused of antisemitism. If they’re muslim, then you’re islamophobic. If they’re christian, you’re a satanist.

    Religions use these words as a form of stealth blasphemy law. They can’t pass laws that forbid criticizing their religion, so they just shout baseless hate at people trying to stop religious hate. “You can’t stop my religious hate, you’re a hater!”.

    Yeah, right.

    This causes a problem, because there are jewish people trying to genocide muslim people, while muslim people try to genocide jewish people. That’s some actual hate right there. Atheists don’t want anyone dead, just educated and not lied to by religious assholes. These religious people? They want to kill and torture their religious enemies with as much hate as possible.

    It’s not the same. All the hate is coming from the religious side. It always has been.

      Yes you can! Atheism is not an ideology. You’re talking about anti-theists and plenty of us non-believers don’t wanna be associated with those people.
