Thread:User talk:WaitingforGodot/Trying to prevent RationalWiki judging Christianity too harshly/reply (26)

I don't know, I would think a culture that rejects atheists as morally bereft and unfit to hold public office is pretty systematic at discriminating against people. Not to mention that a culture that constantly suggests 'normal' as believing in some kind of religion, making atheists 'abnormal' sounds pretty cut and even on discrimination. Not all discrimination has to do with the law or removing lawful rights.

I mean, no one limits the rights of fat people. But they sure are discriminated against, rejected, and omitted from representation by culture. Persecuted? Who knows. But saying that discrimination doesn't exist because the context and particulars are different from other, older social rights causes... once again, doesn't sit well with me.
