    There are a lot of edgy athiests using all their time attacking trans people these days, because an unfortunate number of them are mainly athiests as a way to hate Muslims. And the ones taking the time to attack trans people have almost all joined the alt right, which has been responsible for a lot of attacks on innocent people.

    They may not be killing in the name of atheism, but they have been in the same of “reason” and “defence of women”.

      Maybe I’m sheltered but I don’t know of a single atheist attacking trans people. I’m not saying there aren’t any because anyone can be an asshole but I’m not sure if it’s a lot.

      I haven’t seen that. Why would they need to be atheist to hate Muslims? You can do that from anywhere.

        You can really change that to “should” instead of “can”.

        They literally defend a pedo prophet. I don’t know how exactly they justify that, but I don’t really care. I will actively hate them for this one detail and feel pretty fucking justified.

        When you actively go out of your way to be terrible, you intentionally choose to be considered low class until you wake up and choose a decent path.

        Just be decent. That’s not a high bar to clear. Muslims and Christians fail this test. Probably a lot of others, but staying on topic of the post context here.
