I think what a lot of people don't understand is that the cultural and societal aspects of religion can still exist in a society that is 100% secular. Most atheists aren't anti-theists, in fact, most of them still take part in many religious customs and celebrations in a secular form. Anti-theism doesn't even mean the eradication of religion, it's typically used to describe the intellectual opposition to belief in a deity,

So, I'm honestly perplexed whenever I see people arguing that the "end goal" of atheism is to eradicate religion, this is something both religious people and ill-informed atheists believe, for some reason. I guess this is what happens when Christopher Hitchens and Sam Harris are your go-to atheists and you're measuring atheism against the most extreme religious zealots because that's what most people are reactive towards.

What should be completely removed are almost all forms of institutionalized religion and religious power structures. These are the exactual oppressive structures that have used religion as a tool to justify every form of bigotry and crime against humanity. They are also not essential to the practice of the religion or the survival of the religious culture. Your right to practice your religion ends if you're using said religion to advocate for the oppression of Muslims (assuming you're not practicing Islam), atheists, LGBT+ people, and other minorities. You can be a church-going Catholic without advocating for state-sanctioned religion or the rights of others being removed. This evangelical breed of religious extremism has no place in society and is what actually leads to real genocides happening today.

#non royal #text #also people really do act as if atheists are persecuting religious folks by being annoying and edgy #in my opinion it's like comparing islamophobia to a dislike of Christianity in canada/america #one is a form of dangerous systemic bigotry that kills and the other is at most being rude/ignorant #the religious majority always prosecutes religious minorities including atheists #i'm serious that atheist persecution is an actual problem and the rights of irreligious people are neglected #if you look at how atheists are treated in many religious communities and by evangelical governments there is no comparison #and they have little to no institutional power to fight for their rights as a group #in the US state governments are often times trying to institutionalize religion in ways that harm muslims atheists and all nonevangelicals #the things ron desantis and other republicans have said about atheists would make me feel unsafe living in their states as an atheist
