In group Love, Out group Hate
So, I'm atheist in a muslim majority country. Not the most favorable position to be in, but I do get to see some interesting things Religious Intolerance First off, religion intolerance is alive and kicking in my country. I once got an interview offer as a translator while waiting for a ride. The dude kept trying to poke around my name till I called him out on it and he said that there was a translation office looking for translators but they only accept muslims (my name is ambiguous in regards to religion. but there are names that explicitly state religion) lol, no way I'm going Now here's the interesting thing. Most people have a fnord straw man of atheists as selfish depressed decadent nihilists. I don't blame them, you get clergymen degrading non-believers. This includes the Abrahimic religions despite them being viewed as partially correct. You rarely get a chance to interact with atheists so I don't blame people for viewing atheists negatively
