73. Giving back what was given.
It's frankly none of my business if someone is an atheist. I couldn't care less one way or the other.

But, in the same vein as fundamentalist Christians, Jewish and Muslim followers, atheists should be deterred from using "damning" - or in this case, demeaning - words in subliminal attempts to force others to believe as they do.

Being a progressive means tolerance - and making fun of people who believe differently than you, particularly those who are in no way forcing YOU to believe what they believe, is a sign of a lack of tolerance.
