This isn’t reddit
Comment on Sikh 'barred from Birmingham jury service' for religious sword

Damn, reddit atheists out in full force huh? Out of all the religions to mock, make fun of, or throw a temper tantrum about, Sikhism should be at the bottom of the list. My understanding is that their religion literally does its best to avoid conflict with other religions and beliefs, including atheism, as it sees all people who seek the Absolute Truth to be valid.

Didn’t you hear? They’re all supremely enlightened and know the absolute truth:
- All religions are bad and wrong and stupid
- No religion teaches peace or love
- Every atheist is smarter and superior to anyone with faith
- Every pain who believes in anything is wasting their life

If you need religion to teach you peace or love then you are truly lost.

A Sikh with a kirpan is less of a threat than a Christian with a Bible

I’m an atheist. I like Sikhs. I’ve met a few in my life and they have seemed to be excellent people. They were kind, interested in the world around them, and unlike most religious people they never tried to push their beliefs. Their outfit is kinda rad too, what with the turban and sword and all. I’ll take them over any of the Abrahamic faiths any day.

Amazing beards, too.

To be clear, I’m not referring to all atheists; I’m talking about the reddit-style ones that seem to take offense at any and all religions and get angry when anyone asks for any kind of exemption or allowance based on their religion (aka, anti-theists).
