I'd like a single atheist state where Palestine and Israeli have equal rights but religion is strictly outlawed. But I wouldn't kill people to achieve that, so I think my endgame isn't gonna happen

Yes, since both other sides have extremists which aren't happy with any compromise. On both sides, they are in the government. On both sides, they are willing to kill for it, even seeing it as their religious duty. So if you're unwilling to kill and prefer another scenario, you will most definitely not get it and maybe get killed in the process. The region might have reached it's nash equilibrium in constant war.

In your ideal atheist state, what would the punishment be for religion?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

fraud charges for anyone claiming it to be non fiction and censorship similar to what porn gets for religious media

Attending a satanic church service maybe

I prefer a 2 state solution, with Jerusalem being moved to the center of the Pacific Ocean.

Hey don't drop that shit on the Islanders. They are busy dealing with sinking Atolls.

Evacuate it and then dump a bunch of nuclear waste there. That way every visitor can go see God in Jerusalem.

Palestine is a secular state (at least Fatah of the West bank is, remember Hamas is a reaction to Isreal's oppression). Turns out a theological state is fine if it is the "correct religion".
