    Project Sunlight is a growing movement of people who believe in the power of taking action. Whether it's viewing and sharing with friends an inspiring film, boosting the self-esteem of young women, making a donation to a food bank, Project Sunlight thinks that every single action can make a real difference.

Atheists: the new persecuted minority, international report concludes (COMMENTARY) - Re... - 1 views

  • Atheists, humanists and liberals are now the targets of hate campaigns, according to a new Freedom of Thought Report, which found that some countries find the idea of atheism as a popular movement a threat to the prevailing order.
  • And in a more widely reported story in June, Egyptian authorities proposed an organized campaign against atheists.
  • To some readers, maybe this won’t sound very controversial. But imagine the developments above, applied to other groups: The Jews are “deviant.” The Muslims are a kind of “new religion” that will bring down the state. Or, Christian thought is a form of “terrorism.”
  •  
    This conflict connects to territorial conflicts among religious groups because it talks about how various countries are starting to persecute Atheists and target them with hate campaigns. Why have countries started to bring up the past of Religious prosecution if it destroyed so many lives in events like The Holocaust?
