re: #241 Gus

What irks me is that people often assume that because I’m an atheist I spend any time whatsoever opposing or being hostile to religion. I don’t give a shit about other people’s religion. I give a shit about people asserting that gay people suck because God said so— but I also care about people who say that gay people suck because men should be manly. It’s the idea, not the religiosity of it that’s bad.

But if I mention I’m an atheist people often act as though I’m going to try to convince them to be an atheist too.
