Tired of this deception. Hitler was NOT an atheist. Read Mein Kampf sometime. He talks about being an agent of god and the creator and all that.__Stalin and Mao abolished religion (or attempted to), but abolishing religion doesn't make you an atheist.

Sotonian, what if the sign had been for something else. Something, say, related to hip-hop culture or gangsta rap? Lots of people have problems with those. If he refused to drive the bus because of that? Or liberal politics?
No, he can only get away with this because of the "anything I believe because of religion is A-OK!" attitude.
What if it was a sign for, lets say, Buddhism? Or the Jehovah's Witnesses? Or Islam? Or Shinto?
No, its only because its atheism.
Is the bigotry just his? No.
His is just a perfect example.

This highlights the distinction between the rational and irrational. A rational idea doesn't feel threatened by an irrational one. An irrational idea is threatened by every other idea in existence.
Therefor, whenever a religious person here's about atheism, they see a threat.
This kind of reminds me of the thing we have going on here in the US where doctors and pharmacists are protected from having to do ANYTHING that 'violates' their faith. Sooner or later we'll have a christian scientist who doesn't have to do anything except pray as a doctor.
I wonder, if I don't have to work where I might see or hear ideas that I don't like, how long before I can have those jews fired because their jewishness disturbs me? Or those filthy buddhists?
