I happen to be a member of two minority groups. One is made up of those of us who are disabled, which is hard enough, as we are discriminated against in ways that most people cannot even fathom. However, it pales in comparison to the treatment that atheists receive. In many parts of the United States we are subject to atrocious behavior. We are made to feel like total outsiders, are unwelcome in almost every situation and are trusted by the general public even less than a rapist of children -- all because we lack a belief in God. In fact, we are likely the last minority in which it’s still socially acceptable to publicly humiliate and discriminate against. The sad thing is, most people are totally OK with this.
