    The Venn Diagram of “people that believe in Trump” and “people that believe in religious fairytale creatures” is just a circle. We need less of both of these groups. Not more

    Why ‘people who want to dismantle our democracy and replace it with a far right authoritarian regime’ are vital for our democracy.

        Anyone downvoting the OP here is being ridiculous. Faithfully posting the article’s headline does not mean OP agrees with said headline.

          Posting ridiculous “opinion pieces” is nothing more than spreading stupid propaganda. So yeah, OP deserves to be downvoted.

            If you think you can do better, then I encourage you to post. All news is propaganda. Source: My journalism degree and career in news and public relations.

              I’m so tired of fools like you pretending that they understand a single thing about reality.

              Just please go troll somewhere else.

                Ouch, I got a paper cut from how edgy you are. Please don’t trust me. Research it yourself. News is filtered from the state Department PR to news wires. Then disseminated to news organizations. I’ve seen Producers and Editors change headlines and copy to better fit a narrative and not get flak from corporate. Watch this and tell me I’m lying 🤥

                  Ah yes, all news comes from the state department. Every single bit. Did they send you your tinfoil hat too? You’re an absolute conspiracy theorist trying to pass yourself off as anything knowledgeable.

                  Edit: prove yourself. Doxx yourself and show us your credentials. Otherwise you’re just another dipshit trying to frame ALL news as propaganda.

      It’s an opinion. I don’t know the authors intention. 70% of Americans identify as Christian, according to the census.

        People of faith provenly work against democracy on the daily. It’s a joke. Not an opinion.

          I’m an atheist, so I don’t disagree with you. I abhor organized religion. But we need everyone who is anti-fascist to help. If we don’t work with them, despite differences, in the short term, we all lose in the long term.

    In the comments: the terminally online atheist rails against his straw man of thiests. Nobody was surprised.

      Why do people focus on me? I’m a nobody posting articles for your infotainment. Your focus should be on the merits of the article. Do people really enjoy projecting hate into the world? Or would there time be better spent on self reflection and improvement? How do you feel about teaming with Christians to stop fascism?

        I believe you misunderstood my comment. I’m saying that you triggered terminally online atheists who cannot envision a theist as anything but evil due to fundamental attribution error. Just like the folks they hate, hilariously enough.
