30. Your viewpoint is offencive

If starting prayers in a general discussion forum isn't aggressively promoting their religion, than what is?

Plus it's a huge strawman, equating an atheist saying "Hey I'm here, and what you're doing actually offends people" to pretty much anything a church does, as they can't breathe without thanking god that he made it possible.

in other words, check your privilege.
