Yep, but you got the wrong pattern. In Islamic countries athiests are opposed to....wait for it....ISLAM.
Wow, so what we have here is unbelievers in each of these societies fighting against the most powerful religion in that society. Its hardly rocket science fellas. If you want to establish your right not to believe the people most likely to infringe it are not minority religious groups with no significant influence over the government or broader society. In fact, they will probably share your desire to limit the power of the major religion in that society to do so.
Here's a hint for you Sniper - every time a religious figure denounces Islam; every time a politician labels 'the muslims' as the cause of all nastiness; & every time some moron in the West sanctions the poorly thought out use of force in the Muslim world, Osama & his buddies cheer. He wants all muslims to believe that they are in a war to the death with the west, and that only nutjobs like him can protect them. Every time powerful figures in the West fuel that particular fire they help the Islamo-Bolsheviks get closer to their revolution.
If you think that athiests are the problem then you really don't understand what the problem is.
Oh, a question for gunnut - does it state in the rules of the ACLU that one must be an athiest? What percentage of ACLU members are athiest? Where can I find a 'church of Athiesm' (or in my case agnosticism) to worship at? What are the key texts of this religion as identified by the believers themselves?
From here it looks like you are just running a variation of the 'secular humanist' tripe that fundamentalists dreamed up in the 80s to try to keep religion's nasty little hand in every pie by inventing a religion for the unbelievers.
Here's a simple tip: If you, as an adult, don't know you are a member of a religion, you probably aren't. Ask an athiest or agnostic their religion & they'll tell you they don't have one. This point of agreement does NOT constitute a religion, merely the absence of one.
