      We likely can’t ever be sure, but I sat through sermons throughout my young life that either said or implied this exact sentiment

    Not sure how old that print is but atheists in the US were actually not protected by freedom of religion until Obama changed it.

        When he said “and non believers” in a speech in which he was mentioning religiously affiliated groups, he won me over forever.

    There is always the Flying Spaghetti Monster. Or Satan worship. Or pink unicorns. The letter did say you could pick any God you wanted.

    Good grief. The first time I see something posted from my hometown and it’s this nonsense. Can’t say I’m surprised as the only thing we have more of than bars are churches.

About

This is the official Lemmy for the r/ReligiousCringe***** subreddit. This is a community about poking fun at the religious fundamentalist’s who take their religion a little bit too far. Here you will find religious content that is so outrageous and so cringeworthy that even someone who is mildly religious will cringe.

  2. Material about religious bigots made by non-bigots is only allowed from Friday-Sunday EST. In an effort to keep this community on the topic of religious cringe and bigotry we have decide to limit stuff like atheist memes to only the weekends.

  3. No direct links to religious cringe. To prevent religious bigots from getting our clicks and views directs links to religious cringe are not allowed. If you must a post a screenshot of the site or use archive.ph. If it is a YouTube video please use a YouTube frontend like Piped or Invidious
