...say what? Are you claiming atheists have something against women? Please, enlighten us.
"Baptists are poised to ban churches"
Thanks for the quote, it at least helps to understand your context.
To clear things up, however, atheists couldn't care less about churches. Anti-theists perhaps do. Atheists I know just don't want any religion or church to encroach on their rights and freedoms. The problem is that religionists are quite responsible for getting books banned in schools, trying to remove sex education in schools, are very anti-LGBTQ, have succeeded in the removal of women's rights that have been precedent for decades, and are the most militant about their so-called beliefs in all of these matters, including believing in a fairy grandpa in the sky, that anyone who challenges them in any way, even simply intellectually, effectively constitutes a declaration of war.
So if you want to be concerned about a specific group or groups of people, take a long hard look at the Mormon Church, the Catholic Church, and Muslims and how they view women. And those are just a few examples. Atheists are the least of anyone's problems in this world.
Oh, right. I wanted to say antitheists.
