How long are you going to keep whining about a single post that was quickly dealt with?

I think it fair to say that at least recently, there have been more infracted posts bashing Evangelicals as a group then there have been about other groups. It would be nice if posters would learn to criticize the politics of many Evangelicals, and their activities (e.g., the way some of them suck up to the amoral and reckless narcissist Trump who worships only himself) and what they advocate, rather than just bashing their religious affiliation, or damning the group as a whole because they perceive a majority of them have political opinions, or opinions in general, that they very much dislike. And some I think are willing to just take the infractions because they really want to lash out that much, that they don't care that it violates the TOS.

So I can understand that some of our Evangelical posters are unhappy right now. Hopefully this too will pass. There is just so much else out there that right now that one can lash out at without violating the TOS, to help get the anger out of the system. Sad, but true. We live in interesting times.

The Christians are the second most disrespected group in America today after our brave police people.
Can anyone name a group that is more disrespected than atheists?

I have never in my life suffered disrespect for being an atheist, by anyone, be they religious or non-religious. Granted, many would not vote for me if I ran for office, but on a personal level, I think most take in stride that many are skeptical that God exists.  Granted, I don't go around bashing folks of faith. I assiduously avoid doing that in fact, and always have. That might be part of the reason that I have never had a problem.

I ran for office in Hudson, and lost alas. I wonder how many on this forum who are folks of faith would not have voted for me simply because I am an atheist. I suspect the answer would be close to none.
