And just 'some' countries.
Are people being shot or tortured in the UK for being atheist as opposed to not following one particular faith?

Not yet.
but that doesn't cancel out the right to deny the existence of God is under threat globally.
just because there's no shootings or tortures in the UK.

Well...yes it does. It's not 'global'. In some countries people are being tortured or killed for not following a certain belief, that much is true and certainly disturbing. However it's a big leap from saying the right to deny a deity is "under threat" globally. I don't follow the same beliefs as the people carrying out the attacks so I'd be just as at risk as you.
Those are just emotive words used to create a world-wide "anti-atheist" attitude that just doesn't exist.

You're using death and torture as a basis for your argument.

The most sense you've made in this thread. It is not the usual "This is why I don't believe" stuff.
Oh wait hang on, am I threatening the right to deny God????

I agree. and I've always said I am willing to believe if there were proof in the form of God saying Hi, it's me.
he and Jesus. and all the other magical characters had no problem showing themselves long before intelligence came along.
same can be said about witches, giants, ghosts and fairies.

Re: How the right to deny the existence of God is under threat globally.
Semantics would say that the global right to state non-existence of God being under threat is true. It is not true to say that that threat is global.
----
People who don't believe God are not likely to accept any proof that He does exist, just as people who do believe will not accept proofs that He doesn't. As a Christian we believe that God did turn up, state He was God many times through history (culminating in Jesus really turning up) but people love their own way more so denied or ignored those times to preserve their own way.
Aristotle was aound centuries BEFORE Jesus. People accept him as intelligent. So Jesus was around after "intelligence" came along?!
