Yes! Religion, as sexuality, should only be visible at home, and expecting a fair treatment of atheism in public is as silly as expecting to be allowed to hold your boyfriend’s hand in public or expecting to be allowed to discuss last Sunday’s sermon on the street.

- aurelianito 14y agoI do expect people to be allowed to hold hands in public. I also expect people to be able to discuss last Sunday's sermon on the street. I would not live in a place were any of those things is prohibited. Luckily, I live in a civilized place where both activities are permitted (Argentina :D).
- GFischer 14y agoWell, having those activities permitted doesn't make Argentina civilized :P (tongue-in-cheek, I'm Uruguayan). I live in a proper Secular/nonreligious country :) (1) and we tolerate both as well. (1) we have separation of church and state, and only 4% of regular Christians, though 60% do believe in some sort of god http://countrystudies.us/uruguay/43.htm http://countrystudies.us/uruguay/43.htm Argentina does not have separation of Church and State (though they don't enforce it much, they even had a Muslim-raised president), and the United States has a state-mandated belief in God.
- aurelianito 14y agoI really envy Uruguay regarding Church-state separation. I also really admire your president for not going to the Pope assumption.
