Reply #6: Sure we will - when the believers stop trying to legislate religion [View All]

When religion is not forced into our lives we will not complain about it any more. Since most of us live in the US however where religion forces itself into education, social policy, human rights, scientific funding, and the very fabric of politics itself I doubt we'll be able to give it a rest any time soon.


Oh you want atheists to shut up while religion continues to pollute all these things? Nope. Not a chance.


Nonbelievers have shut up about religion for thousands of years - most often because we were killed for not doing so. Now we have had at most a few decades in some parts of the world where we are at least nominally allowed to speak up it's too uncomfortable for religion, which has ruled the planet since unequal societies began? Tough shit.
