their morality is hilarious - and that they view it as intrinsic to their religion and would go murderhappy without it's constraints, or if the right imaginary friend told them to - illustrates my fear that out atheists in many places are at risk.

A few examples:

christian fascists insist we'll have freedom of religion, but not freedom from religion. even though the supreme court has long held "no religion" is a religion.

In Islam, if you're a jew or christian, you can pay a fee and practice your faith. Think they extend that to atheism?

Indonesia for example:

But hardly limited there -
