Yay! Anti-atheist bigotry on HuffPo (again).

[trotsky]

In this piece, Eli Verschleiser takes a rather unique spin to express his butthurt over religion in general being "under attack"

Every faith has its bad apples, as do atheists. But the fact is, no one goes around the world to fight AIDS or Ebola or dig wells or save children, or respond to disasters in the proud name of atheism. Faith-based groups do so routinely.

Implying, of course, that only the religious engage in charitable endeavors. Thankfully a couple of commenters have already taken him to task:

To make the claim that "no one goes around the world to fight AIDS or Ebola or dig wells or save children, or respond to disasters in the proud name of atheism" is very misleading.

There are many charitable organizations that are not affiliated with religion (Red Cross, Good Will, Doctors without Borders, etc). They simply don't refer to themselves as "atheist charities". Why would they? They do their good work without evangelizing.

Verschleiser continues his whine:

That's why those offended by the generic "Happy Holidays" and the Starbucks cups worry about a slippery slope.

Next thing you know Christmas is an optional work holiday, In God We Trust comes off the currency, the President is forbidden from using the Bible for his oath of office, and houses of worship lose their tax exempt status, all sacrificed on the altar of the ascendant Unaffiliated tribe.

Give me a fucking break!
