Fuckin’ White People and their… [shuffles deck, draws card] …thinking that God not existing is a good reason to not believe in It.
A friend of mine shared this, and I let her know it was disgusting and othering.
My exreligion uses harsh social control and isolation to force dependency. I left my religion because god is a monster. When I came out at 15 my mom didn’t talk to me for three days and I wasn’t sure I wouldn’t get kicked out of the house. Finding the logical, rational reasons that religion didn’t make sense gave me a shield. It let me say to the people threatening to take away all my social supports and telling me I was destroying my family and damning myself that *nothing they said made sense when compared to reality*. I left because God is Hate. I was able to say it out loud because I could show he’s fake.

I’m glad that you stood up to this. I’m glad that you didn’t need anyone to tell you that your experience is valid and you have a right to share it and be seen as human. Bravo.
To paraphrase a meme that I often agree with strongly, “Hate is Hate.”
