I don't think Atheists are a minority.

    Does religion lash out against those who don't share their beliefs? Yes, of course there are going to be those people. In areas that are disproportionate amountts of those people. In those areas, iti s hard to be an atheist. But to use those examples as proof that atheism is an oppressed minority, that our civil liberties are being trampled upon on a day to day basis by a monolithic monstrosity known only vaguely as "Religion" is as ridiculous as it is misguided.

I have yet to hear for hate crimes from atheists against religious people... I would not say the same for the inverted roles.
