We must acknowledge that we are on our own. We have no god(s), no temples, no institutions and nothing to rely upon. Social structure and cultural norms, influenced to some extent by religion does not give the atheist credence. In many parts of the world, atheism is punishable by stoning. In more civilized climates, a priest who incites violence against non-believers is at the most given a slap on the wrist – he might even be lauded for his sense of justice. But an atheist who gives credible reasons for his rejection of religion, and quotes from reliable sources – he is making ‘seditious’ remarks and persecuted for being ‘anti-religion’. It is obscene. You can say that people are treated equally in these modern times, but you cannot deny that some are more equal than others.
