    I don’t think this is an atheist meme I think it’s anti-muslim. After all the rampant issues with Islamic countries in the Middle east I see as sourced from the corruption in their leaders who allow these aspect of their religion to circumvent other aspects of their religion, the same way Republicans have convinced Christians telling the poor to go fuck themselves is Christian only they’ve allowed the atrocities committed in the name of their religion to justify far worse standards in the middle east.

      Precisely. There are millions of Muslims that don’t feel the need or want to push their religion on others. As usual it is a minority that ruin things for the majority.

      I’m atheist and anti-religion, but I believe in live and let live just as much as many Muslims do.

      I agree with the overall sentiment of your comment, but everyone is always quick to point out the flaws in the Middle East, and they never bring up the world’s largest Muslim county. In Indonesia, Atheists would be prosecuted under their blasphemy laws. Things don’t always need to be so unstable as the Middle East for religious extremists to deny our right to exist.

      Christian majority countries armed the right wing extremist in the Middle East so they could execute every last moderate, secularist, and progressive. And then we deliberately destabilized the region for a century, keeping them stuck in the past.

      And now we’re blaming one religion over another. It’s pretty ridiculous.
