writes about the bigotry spread far and wide in America against anti-atheism in
following words:
The strength of
anti-atheist bigotry in America is undeniable. But how exactly does this
anti-atheist bigotry manifest? How do religious theists — Christians, primarily
— express or act on their bigotry towards atheists? What does anti-atheist
bigotry in America look like?
The most fundamental
and serious expression of anti-atheist bigotry in America is to deny atheists'
very humanity on some level. The worst form is to deny that atheists have any
reason to be moral because morality requires gods and/or morality proves the
existence of gods. This sort of hate-mongering feeds the perception that
atheist can't be trusted, a frequently cited reason for discrimination against
atheists.
