USPS Discriminates Against 'Atheist' Merchandise
fish waffle writes "Suspecting that their strongly branded 'Atheist' products may be treated differently by more religiously-oriented postal regions, Kickstarter success Atheist Shoes conducted an experiment. They sent 178 packages to 89 people in different parts of the U.S., each person receiving one package prominently branded as 'Atheist' merchandise, and one not. The results: packages with the atheist label were nearly 10 times more likely to be 'lost,' and took on average 3 days longer to show up when they did. Control experiments were also done in Europe and Germany — it's definitely a USPS problem."
A package heavily marked "Atheist" might be considered a be a bit suspicious, especially in the US where the issue of religion seems to be a bit more polarized anyway.
So explain to me: what exactly is the difference between the USA, and Afghanistan under the Taleban?
I'm old enough to remember when discussions on Slashdot were well informed.
Given the birth rate difference between atheists versus religious people, how exactly do you atheists hope to prevent a complete Christian takeover in 20 years or so ?
Look outside your country. Consider Italy, where the RC Church is based, They have the lowest birthrate in W.Eeurope. It's not just about religion. Education comes in there too. Your "Christians" like to keep people in ignorance. This is not so much the case on Earth.
I'll see your Constitution and raise you a Queen.
