Yeah, they're saying all the right things right now but their past associations with al Qaeda and ISIS doesn't bode well.
Are they really saying the correct things?
I've seen plenty of interviews where where they say that "God is great" on repeat. Thats not what you want to hear from your potential governing body.
Can't tell if this is edgy Atheism or Islamophobia.
In the unlikely event you actually want to get out whichever bubble you're in, that phrase is extremely common in that part of the world. It's a nothing burger, calm down.
Theocratic rule, no matter which theology, never improves things for the citizens.
When an country forces its citizens to follow a state-mandated religion or else face death or severe punishment, and enacts laws that severely limit its citizens' freedom in the name of their chosen state religion, is it really considered "edgy" to be against it? I dunno, being against tyranny doesn't sound like something exclusive to atheists. The tyranny being religious in nature doesn't change that.
I think them using the term 'edgy' was just projection. It's best to avoid taking the bait when trolls do their thing.
Why don’t you live somewhere with theocratic rule?
Weird that part of the world is so dangerous for women, LGBTQ, atheists, Christians… anyone not Muslim…
Im sure it has nothing to do with their minds being stuck in ‘repeat religious phrases non-stop’ mode.
Yeah, but you're just as bad for pointing that out

I heard it's all the Democrats fault for not fixing it when they had power.

Yes it is a common phrase but how many governments honestly benefited from having a religious influence? It's not phobic to be concerned that this new government will be created with any religious groups ideology as guidelines instead of foundational morals and freedoms at it's core.
To your point, removed hard r was a common phrase as well unfortunately is becoming more common again in the us.
Just because it's common doesn't mean it should not be laid ro rest
Religion as a base of government is shit, regardless of which make-belief you got bred with.
I don't like labels, cause they simplify an opinion you might hold. But i suppose i have some atheistic views, and that's it.
