How the right to deny the existence of God is under threat globally.
Interesting.
"Atheists and humanists are increasingly being targeted as distinct minorities in “hate campaigns” across the globe, according to a new report which found that religious and political leaders are ratcheting up rhetoric against those who believe there is no God.
The report claims that the “hate speech” against atheists does not come exclusively from reactionary or radical religious leaders, but increasingly from political leaders, including heads of state."

More.
In 13 sovereign states where the religion of peace reigns supreme it's a capital offence to not be a Muslim.

Re: How the right to deny the existence of God is under threat globally.
I swear. it's got to be something they're eating.
I just hope for their sakes that someone comes up with an antidote.
For the record. there is no God. you've eaten something that has made you ill. that's all

Deny me bacon and beer and I'm likely to go a bit mad and set about jihad.

Re: How the right to deny the existence of God is under threat globally.
It seems to be Muslims being against all non-Muslim beliefs or non-beliefs. The only mention of a non Muslim faith is Christianity, where I'm sure that the use of the word "fight" is not meant in the violent sense.
The thread title is wrong. It is NOT the right to deny the existence of God that is under threat, but the denial of Allah.

Right, so:
- "across the globe" is actually a selection of the usual Islamic suspects.
- The "report" is a campaigning document written by a lobby group with an obvious self interest, the International Humanist and Ethical Union.
- The Indy is very happy to promulgate the notion that an intellectual, philosophical or evangelical attack on a belief or a set of ideas, is to be equated with the denial of rights.
- The IHEU appears to have tried to use Scotland as a fig leaf to avoid a charge of Islamophobia. Does it really see a moral equivalence between faith schools in Scotland and the denial of identity documents, forced adoptions and executions of atheists in certain Islamic states?
Apart from that, top marks.

There you go. that's how silly it is. all 3,000 of them silly.
my niece was doing her homework the other day. she had to fill in the blanks from a list of words provided on a separate page.
it was about Mohammed and Mecca.
apart from her noticing that Mohammed was also spelt as Muhammed on the page. she asked how come they call God something else when his name is God?
I told her about God being like Father Xmas and the tooth fairy.
she's gonna love telling everybody that there's over 3,000 Gods when I tell her now.
and a lot more confused than she naturally is with being blonde.
