I wonder how long before atheists lose their voting rights?

This seems a bit ominous...

1. Moral virtue does not require any faith in God or Christianity

And apparently moral virtue doesn’t exist in the Republican party at all

[Eliot Rosewater]

3. I think we have to accept the fact at this point

That the vast majority of Republicans today and over the past 40 years or so we’re just waiting for someone like this piece of shit to let them show their true selves.

I believe people like John McCain and even Ronald Reagan and Bob Dole and people like that would never have gone down this road with the piece of shit, but as we can see the vast majority of them did. Chris Christie Mitt Romney I guess tried to show resistance and nobody has heard from them.

These people wanna own Black people for instance, something that’s shocking to us but not to them.

4. The "endowed by your creator" thing doesn't bother me at all

I consider my creator to be my mother, She took a lot of risks and put in a lot of work to get there , and she endowed me with my rights.

2. Just a few weeks before we're all arrested and put in prison

Some of us tried to warn about everything that’s happening.

Some of us said they were gonna take everything from us and they’re going to.

Some of us warned people in 2016 to shut their stupid mouth about Hillary, stop saying they had to hold their nose to vote for her because when you do that at least one of the person hears it and decides not to bother to vote at all since they are both the same, according to you.

5. And some of us said, strongly support, and stand byJoe Biden

It was such a tepid support of him before the 2024 election. Our own people. He is a good man, and we know that good men are hard to find. and he presided over a terrific economy, despite what he started out with. He didn’t go around bombing boats because he felt like it and changing the names of things because it made him feel more macho like we have now

6. The first Twitter reply I see is from someone at Liberty University calling for the overturning of a 1947 SC ruling

against public money going to religious schools. That is where they primarily want to head, of course - profit, at the public expense.

Next, they want to use the excuse of religion to attack enemies, of any kind. The link is to a BS report by the vile Bondi saying Biden was "biased" against Christians, and "weaponized" the federal government against them. The fact that Joe Biden is probably the most enthusiastically Christian president since Jimmy Carter does not stop them churning out the lies.

I don't think we atheists have anything particular to fear (OK, easy for me to say from the UK); rather, anyone who is not kowtowing to Trump and MAGA will be at risk, no matter how Christian they are. There's clearly a fanatic at the State Dept Twitter account who thinks "steadfast faith in God is a necessary precondition of freedom", but really, it's Trumpists v. everyone else (and "everyone else" includes the Pope).
