from another group

"The world in which these anti-theists want to live in is one in which there is Atheist privilege - on the grounds that they are in the right and the rest of us are wrong. Atheists get to hold public office, atheists get preferential job treatment, atheists get all the societal benefits that Christianity in say that 1950s and 1960s got."

I can't post in this oh so fair-minded group, but if I could, I'd say:

"So, you admit atheists were (50s & 60s) and are (like you're doing now) persecuted against and held in contempt by theists. And now you project and unjustly apply this theist prejudice to atheists in your fantasy, as if there is remotely any danger of it ever happening."

I sometimes wonder if they read what they wrote.
