Infected Euphoric atheists

Violate the first amendment.

There's no First Amendment right to existing completely tax free just for being a religion. Tax exemption was granted as an encouragement to organizations believed to be acting in the public interest and not using their income to advance their political interests. This restriction applies equally to purely secular 501(c)(3) organizations and religious 501(c)(3) organizations. If they don't want to follow the 501(c)(3) rules they can pay taxes like anyone else.

In practice it doesn't get enforced on secular organizations either. Look at all the "charity" NGOs running tax exempt that exist solely to shill for the Democrat Party or to harass white people like the SPLC and ADL.

The fact that enforcement is a mess doesn't change the underlying principles. And occasionally they actually do try to crack down on both churches and secular organizations that are blatantly engaging in politics, the result usually being a bunch of autistic screeching from whoever's ox got gored and eventually giving up on it.

Eh, the phrase "I'll pray for you" can be used as a dickish way to pretend they actually are polite, a subtle way of saying "fuck you you shithead".

But it also can be said genuinely. Context does matter on it, and in this case I'd say it'd be genuine when dealing with a disease.

The mentality behind the first one is especially irritating.

With jokes from atheist, one could imagine they'd be unfunny if it's just another "lol dumb religious guy" joke or another totally hot take about "invisible sky man is actually an evil douche" that's been overdone a million times. As for the last image, it must truly be surreal to see how people believe in something an atheist doesn't believe in. On a serious note, I won't deny shit like indoctrination and all but this sort of thing also makes me feel like it's nothing more than just some dumb sperging that could sound no different from people sperging about pronouns in bio or anime as an avatar.

*whinges about sky daddies* "IM HAPPY CANT YOU SEE IM HAPPY"

With all the images of trying to own a group they dislike and the like, one would assume there's some sort of problem. Not one that makes a person unhappy but more like being a dick, Then again, the euphorics can ask the same to people that unironically believe in the sky daddies and then try to find some way to checkmate them because "happiness" and the sky daddy not fulfilling it or something.

No, the religious ended up murdering the rich when they ended up acting so fucking stupid they deserved it. See: any medieval peasant rebellion


Some meaningful science would include butt stuff.

It really is rich for one to think religion is what'll keep the wealthy in power when even the religious, can have limits with them. And don't forget something about "my sex junk." Honestly wondering if the science these guys can sperg over can include something besides some pop culture man and whatever makes fundies screech. I found more interesting science in seeing volcanic eruptions than whatever bits I got to see of Bill Nye (which is ironic since the Christian school I attended at one point actually had some recorded VHS tapes of some episodes of his).

One consideration for that: letting humans have free will and making a choice. All needed to attack that rather than some "facts and logic" is just having a philosopher sperg on hard about free will and deontology.
