Is having a nagative opinion about a group persecution?
OK, I think we need to define persecution. Too many people in the theist/atheist debates think it means something it does not.
Most times either side is voicing an opinion of the other. Is having and/or voicing that opinion persecution?

"So religious groups, mistreating people who don't have the same beliefs as them" By saying that, you're suggesting that theists persecute those who don't share the same beliefs as them. This would indeed include atheists. Also, not agreeing /= persecution, but showing disrespect (lack of respect, esteem, or courteous regard, or contempt and/or rudeness) IS persecution. Because by not respecting someone, showing rudeness or hate to someone you wouldn't normally give to, just because they believe something you don't, you are mistreating their natural rights. Anyway, I'm done here. The Flood does not need another religious flamewar.

Im sorry, when i think of persecution, i think of the [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godwin%27s_law]-godwinslaw!-[/url] and jews, not an atheist laughing at soemones beliefs. Personally if you want to have beliefs, you cant prove, you need to get some thicker skin. The fact that theists believe i should have to respect their beliefs is retarded, i dont have to, i just tolerate it.
