The story of a high school student who is discriminated against by everyone around her, except her family, simply because she is an Atheist.

And an article to go with it: [url]http://newsjunkiepost.com/2009/09/19/research-finds-that-atheists-are-most-hated-and-distrusted-minority/[/url]
All those charges the school blatantly made up, that's bull-fucking-horse shit. It pisses me off that they can get away with that. Fuck religion, and fuck Christians. It's not just one person either, is a whole damn school district. I realize that not every Christian is like that, but it can't be denied that Christianity is a plague of stupidity, ignorance, and bigotry.
The fact that the people in town don't even know what Atheists believe in is appalling.
I'm an atheist. Everyone at my school is a Christian, and everyone at my school knows. They don't care. I think this a little exaggerated. Then again, it's Wisconsin.

Stupid christians... But her reason for being atheist is the same as most religious people.

Some states are less Christian than others, and certainly less militant. Blatant discrimination isn't as common up north.
And yes, hated. Distrusted as well, you didn't read the article yet. I suggest you do.
Wow, I mean I'm a Christian and that is just crazy....my state too!
I am disappoint.
But the Dad is retarded, [i]violating[/i] the Constitution? Please.

He just said Wisconsin...
:sigh:
[QUOTE=Kastralis;18903683]Stupid christians... But her reason for being atheist is the same as most religious people.[/QUOTE]
Yeah, her reason is stupid, she's being as ignorant as the Christians are in the fact that she believes in what she was raised to believe, and obviously hasn't yet questioned it. That isn't surprising, however, when you take into account she is still in High school. Most people don't truly examine the world until their early 20s. The point isn't the validity of Atheism, the point is that Atheist are the most hated and distrusted minority in America.

Oh, hahah, you're right, I need to edit that. I thought he was referring to where the girl in the video is from. In my current tired state I wasn't paying too much attention... my bad.
Something bad was done by a few members (out of millions) of group 1 to a member of group 2, therefore all of group 2 is as bad as them.
no
More like the most hateful, but w/e some christians can be mean too

I addressed that in the OP, please read the OP and watch the video. Then read the article.
I swear, you just came in and posted without doing any of those things.

No, most hated. Read the article.
Your post is a good example of religious bigotry.

Well ur gay
"Thou shalt keep thy religion to thyself."
I don't believe in any sort of god, but it's because I'm a logical person and question things, not just because my parents do or don't. I wish people would just let people believe what they want to believe, wouldn't that be a perfect world.
That interview was terrible. Really, is it necessary to engage in the stupidest of all arguments, you cannot prove there isn't a god?

That... is not nice.
Am I like the only Christian on Facepunch?

What's wrong with Christians!?!

That's what I believe, doesn't mean I am going to discriminate against Christians. I'm not about to make personal insults against someone for being Christian, or try to get them thrown out of school. I'm not going to infringe on their freedom, they can practice religion all the want.
So don't go all "Oh the irony is killing me" on me.
I hate how they say that 91% of the country said they believe in God.
Unless they get 300 million counts from the survey, I don't believe in those numbers because I doubt many Atheists would stumble upon those surveys.

Yeah, even the guy conducting the interviews would seem to be a little biased. That is genuinely not a very accurate statistic.

Sounds right to me.
[quote]In my country(India) Hinduism is the major religion and then comes muslim population. People are very religious and normally marry within their religion and castes. However, people are more tolerant than you would imagine. I have never met anyone online or personally here, who has disapproved me of because I don’t believe me in any religion. Sadly this is not true for all the Americans I know.
Although I would like to see more atheists in India but often I think maybe it’s good for many in rural parts believing in god to give them psychological strengths to deal with their misery. But then it often brings misery as well because of communal clashes.[/quote]
This person is dumb for suggesting that India is more tolerant than America. India has a fucking caste system, de jure discrimination.
As a Christian, you're supposed to allow people to follow God on their own, you can't force someone to love someone they hate.

And that is why atheists are the most hated minority in America.
At the start of that video, I thought the father looked like James Hetfield. Seeing him play guitar at the end has convinced me.
Eh... South. Land under god, rather than under intelligence, sanity, and logic.
I know how she feels.
I too live in such a small town... and am one of the very few atheist.
