Interesting. I did not realize the history behind Chick-fil-A. I stand corrected - that was a poor example. The extent of my knowledge there was the christian underpinnings of Chick-fil-A's founder and the statements made in the article.
- dragontamer 8y agoYeah, I'll again say that I've 100% met militant atheists before and they're quite an annoying bunch. But... > The extent of my knowledge there was the christian underpinnings of Chick-fil-A's founder and the statements made in the article. In the majority of these cases, people usually don't care about religion, as much as political views. IE: They may be pro-choice (while religious are typically pro-life), and that's what they're really annoyed about. Or in this case, the Chick-Fil-A situation is 100% a gay rights issue more so than anything else. Even the "Satanic Temple" is really just a bunch of trolls / a political group who are mostly concerned about separation of church-and-state issues. The "Satanic Temple" just uses the same tactics as right-wingnuts do: "Trigger the snowflakes". In any case, the entire strategy is to try to make the other side look bad by trolling and acting worse. I severely doubt that anyone in the Satanic Temple actually worships Satan, they seem to be atheists / secularists for the most part. ------------ Again, militant atheists who look down upon religion certainly exist. But they aren't commonly in major positions of power in my experience. So I'm always weary when any group blames things as a "War on Christians".
