What Constitutes "Atheist Free Speech"?

When theists profess a belief in a deity, it offends Atheists, or so the story goes; it makes some of them physically ill. Atheists are "marginalized" by Christmas and thus there is the "War on Christmas" as Atheists exercise their free speech with attack billboards and lawsuits. So there is a polar difference between the types of speech involved.

When a theist worldview is expressed, it usually is a positive expression of acknowledgement of the existence of a power higher than the theist. Atheism is not attacked or even considered.

However, when an Atheist worldview is expressed, it frequently involves a direct attack on theists. In fact, the entire thrust of Atheism is just that, and nothing more, because there is no positive tenet of Atheism which even could be presented. Atheism is by its very nature a rejection of the Other. Atheism thus is self-endowed with elitist superiority, including moral elitist superiority. Atheists do not shrink from telling the world exactly that. So attacking theists is THE form of Atheist free speech.

Now why would Atheists think that this type of free speech should be seen as endearing by the Other? Why should anyone else who is not Atheist seek their company? When they complain about being marginalized, do they realize that their own actions have implicated their hostility/hatred for the Other? Why should the Other want to be around those who hate them and have placed them into the Oppressor Class? Why should they patronized those whose mere existence is "superior" to them, and is expressed as such shrilly, stridently? Yet that is what the Atheists demand.

To expect that is irrational, to the max. And that fits with Atheism perfectly, because there is no rational case to be made FOR Atheism. They can present NO deductive case FOR their worldview, they can only despise the worldview of the Other, along with despising the Others as well. They can present NO empirical experimental scientific data which supports their worldview, they can only demand that Logical Category Error be placed on the Other. Atheism is as far from rationality as is possible.

Otherizing is the modus operandi of Atheism. And of Leftist, three class totalitarians. It would be irrational of the Other to accept Atheists and Leftists in general into their circles, because who wants to associate with those who want to destroy your worldview?

Their hypocrisy is beyond ridiculous.On the one hand Atheists are free to crap (criticize) on religious matters but cry foul when theists pronounce their beliefs,which are not even intended nor directed at Atheists.I think it's called Narcissistic Entitlement Syndrome (NES).Yep,it's a thing,just googled it.
