As soon as witches, werewolves, or Santa Clause start infringing on the rights of atheists
Please tell me how Christians have infringed upon the rights of Atheists.....
It’s illegal for public schools to prevent students from viewing atheist websites, while allowing them to look at religious ones. But the San Antonio Independent School District
did it anyway.
It’s illegal to make atheists swear religious oaths when they testify in court. But the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida in Fort Myers
did it anyway.
It’s illegal for the U.S. military to
spend money evangelizing to U.S. soldiers, or to
demand that U.S. soldiers attend chapel, or to order U.S. soldiers to take a
“spiritual fitness” test and
order them to visit evangelizing chaplains when they fail it. But the U.S. military did it anyway.
It’s illegal for businesses to give church-goers discounts that they don’t give to non-believers. But the Fisherman’s Quarters II restaurant in Asheville, N.C.
did it anyway.
It’s illegal to deny atheist organizations the right to advertise in venues where religious groups advertise regularly. But when American Atheists and the NEPA Freethought Society tried to place a bus ad in Pennsylvania that simply had the word, “Atheists,” with the names and URLs of the organizations in smaller type, the transit system
rejected the ad because it was “too controversial.”
It’s illegal to deny atheist students in public high schools the right to organize clubs. But it happens all the time. Talk to
Secular Student Alliance high school specialist
JT Eberhard. He spends a ridiculous amount of his working day pushing high school administrations to stop
throwing up illegal roadblocks to atheist students, and to let them have the clubs they’re legally allowed to have.

Beyond the above, atheists are constantly being told that morality can't exist without a belief in God, so all atheists are immoral. That statement alone is enough to cause vigorous opposition.
