    Other people’s beliefs directly impact me constantly through laws justified by religious doctrine, social pressures, imposing themselves into government offices, and being used to promote lying politicians who claim to be members but never following the teachings while gaining votes for being on the same team.

    It has negatively affected me my entire life, even if it isn’t a obvious as racism and misogyny.

      So you’re saying that you want separation from religion. Why can’t they have that from you? I agree that religion doesn’t belong in government. What about that justifies extermination of religion?

        I didn’t say anything about extrrninating religion, I responded to your comment saying people’s beliefs have no affect on an atheist.

        Atheists being against religion is a reaction to the default assumption that everyone is part of a religion. The label atheist only exists as a response to beliefs.
