    Damn yeah, that’s a lot. I worry a lot about by queer atheist Jewish friends (and the queer religious Jewish friends too, it’s not like the christofascists will ally with folks just because they attend synagogue regularly).

    The thing is I don’t think they’re going to try to round up the atheists, just make public displays of atheism illegal and target a few big name ones. But they’ll harp on atheism.

    I see it already in some of the weirdest ways. I’ve had Christians try to act like we’re some buddy buddy group of religious people (I’m pagan) as opposed to the atheists and Satanists. Atheists and Satanists have never persecuted my religion outside of soviet state mandated atheism, and Russia didn’t bother stopping persecuting the pagans when they went christian so I think that’s more on Russia than atheism. Atheists generally want a government where your religion is your problem and you don’t get to force it on people or hurt people with it. That’s exactly what I want. And I know that the fact that I don’t believe in their god will eventually cause problems
