Hmm...
As I said, in the western world, it is mostly Christians who influence our lives and policies.
Basically, I care about society. I am equally outspoken when it comes to tasers, for example. But that doesn't rile you as much, so you didn't notice.
Making light of Sharia law would be equally easy, but as I said, it does not concern me too much, as I have little contact points to the arabic world. I also feel I do not know enough about it to really contribute.
(And yes, even as an Atheist, I got a thorough Christian education...yes, against my will or that of my parents..simply lack of alternatives)
Also, I do NOT want a pat on the back by warmongers and xenophobes, so I tend to stay away from critique of Islam on US messaging boards.
But rest assured, next time a stupid law is passed in the US because of Muslim beliefs, I will make sure to point you to the corresponding news item as well.
As for the "idiots are everywhere" I agree. The difference between a religious idiot and an atheist one is that the atheist might say, "yes, I am an idiot".
The religious idiot will point you to the righteousness of his actions - after all his God(s) told him so.
And as to the "right to my personal beliefs" I am an atheist... I do not believe.
