Atheists enjoy at least the same quality of life as Christians.

"I thought Con might try to derail the conversation referencing Christian retards so I tried to humor that a bit proving that I don’t get trolling at all unless it’s self inflicted."To be fair I am kinda known for trolling so youre not really at fault for preparing for me to give trollish arguments. If you wish to redo this debate then Id understand and would comply. "Where effective religious indoctrination is high leading to potential atheist persecution there are very few Atheists. The population is virtually non-existent in the Middle East, Africa and South America where Con’s persecution figures are located"The reason there appears to be a low number of Atheists is because there are government that do not let atheists have an option of registering as an atheist. In many countries, Atheists are often forced to choose to identify with one of the major religions. Nations like Iran, Jordan, and Thailand all make it impossible to label yourself as an Atheist, and in many other equally insane countries, Atheists do not identify as atheists out of fear of being put to death by the governmenthttp://en.wikipedia.org..."Con has cited many clear examples of discrimination but has not shown that this has a high impact on Atheist lives."Being banned from holding public office, being forced to attend evangelical services, being distrusted in America more then Muslims, and being percieved as the Bane of America and nationalism by President after President certainly does have an impact on Atheist lives....."The United States then is a good example that not only are atheists enjoying life but they are resilient to the discrimination that they have to deal with."But they are being discriminated against, which is what I am getting at here. Christians just about own this country and every aspect of it while Atheists in your own admission are subjected to discrimination, that clearly implies that the two do not enjoy the same quality of life. "round 100,000 Christians every year are violently murdered because of their faith and 200,000 are denied basic human rights. The Majority of countries that persecute atheists come down much harder or equally torment Christians."Muslim countries do come down on Christians just as hard as Atheists, I shall not deny that both are discriminated against in the Middle East. However Atheists face discrimination in more countries then Christians do since both are discriminated against in the Middle East, but only one of them (Atheists) are discriminated against in America, while both of them are just about equal in European countries. "Christmas is pretty tame and atheists only tend to act out only when nativity and not secular displays are allowed on public property"Which lets face it is just about everywhere. "As we saw in America, strong discrimination does not have a major impact on general well being"It kind of does though.... Especially in America. The Jim Crow laws and segregation that discriminated against blacks had a MASSIVE impact on their well being in America, and while Atheists arent subjected to that same level of discrimination, its erroneous to claim that strong discrimination =/= a major impact on general well being. "The Majority of the roughly 500-750 million Atheists live in Europe, Japan, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Taiwan and Israel [16]. These are areas that also have high rates of societal health like industrialization, a high standard of living, equality, housing and health care."And Christians outnumber Atheists in just about each and every one of those countries too. "Atheist persecution is not a major problem since they do not live in the areas where it could be an issue" Except that they do, they are denied the basic right to label themselves as an Atheist and those that do can face the death penalty in a dozen countries. "and Christians get it far worse."Christians get it equally as bad, its an unsubstantiated opinion to claim they get it far worse and to simply ignore everything posted about how Atheists are persecuted. "Anyone checking on my sources please use the links below and not last round. Apparently you can’t cut sources from an old debate and paste to a word doc."Oh yeah i made that mistake a couple times. The reason that happens is that source websites are curtailed in the official debate with a '......' at the end of it, meaning if you copy paste the link then youre not actually copying the entire link itself, just an obstructed and abridged version of it.
