Atheist Nexus

The World’s Largest Coalition of Nontheists and Nontheist Communities!

This happens because the sheeple love to have a pariah to victimize. It's the American way to loathe the "odd man out", no matter what the subject is but especially religion.

when are they just going to stop lying and wear hilter patches or some crap
or the word 'gay people' with a red x over it. then we'd know ahead of time instead of
"hey I thought you were cool until you told me to pray" what a damn shame indeed
heck, 'nonbelievers' are mystical smarty pants demons and devils incarnate I'm sure in the eyes of the many different cultures/races of jesus capitalists
