Religion

(1,020 posts)Questioning of religious beliefs is a professional periodical and book-publishing pastime for a great many science writers, and there is no effort to censor those writings. Recent atheist rallies may be scorned by the religious (just as religious rallies are scorned by atheists), but they are nonetheless being held and are reasonably well attended. Blogs and forums discussing atheism abound, and this thread alone is a minor testament to the ability of atheists on this site to assert their views without censorship (or even criticism - thus far).
It seems at times that atheists are adopting the rather unseemly persecution stance that the overtly religious have so effectively employed, perhaps because the status of victim is itself (oddly) so revered in our society.
