No, they're generally not allowed in my house, being as they are *wilfull carriers of transmissible diseases and gullible assholes.

I'll tell you one place they are though, Norwich, harassing members of a religious community.

It says in the article the Sikh community believes the billboard was rented by Hindu Indians. The conflict among Muslim, Hindu and Sikh Indians is not on a lot of Americans' radar.

It's on the radar of other nationalist, racist movements, i.e., Republicans.

So democrats don't carry or transmit disease? Was it that super successful covid vaccine? Wow this is quite a scientific revelation. Has this been fact checked by Reuters? I'm gonna need a source. Oh wait, I just checked snopes, it's been scientifically verified in a study done on six bisexual lebanese donkeys.

It was literally 1-a couple of people. Again, get a grip. Your "biggest threat to america" also seems to be your wet dream.

I don't believe in contrived statistics, no. If you like meaningful statistics, go check out Israel's or Australia's covid metrics. They split out hospitilizations and deaths by vaccination status on a weekly basis.

For the week of 10/15/22 NSW reported 2 unvaccinated deaths, and no hospitilizations for that group. All vaccinated groups accounted for 231 hospitilizations and 33 deaths. Of course, older people are more likely to be vaccinated and they should be overrepresented in that regard. But all that suggests is that old/sick people die of this disease at best. At worst it suggests that it doesn't help those that need it to help them, and the others simply don't need it!

https://www.health.nsw.gov.au/Infectious/covid-19/Pages/weekly-reports.aspx

Looks through any of these weeks and see who is represented in hospitilizations and deaths by their vaccination status. It's all in line with the above.

The evidence doesn't even come close to supporting that it prevents either. Anyone arguing otherwise just doesn't want to look at the evidence and would rather protect the team that they've been rooting for.

But please, tell me more about how I don't believe statistics, when I'm presenting you government approved statistics that strongly suggests the vaccine does not prevent hospitalization or transmission. I think it's you, my friend.

Covid death rates are higher among Republicans than Democrats, mounting evidence shows

>Average excess death rates in Florida and Ohio were 76% higher among Republicans than Democrats from March 2020 to December 2021, according to a working paper released last month by the National Bureau of Economic Research. Excess deaths refers to deaths above what would be anticipated based on historical trends.

>A study in June published in Health Affairs similarly found that counties with a Republican majority had a greater share of Covid deaths through October 2021, relative to majority-Democratic counties.

Show me where vaccines were hyped to "prevent covid." They never were. The pitch was that if you caught covid, your symptoms would most likely be less severe.

A lot of non vaxxed people suffered from the Herman Cain syndrome, and died due to their infections, weakened by comorbidity.

Lol I hate people who use actual statistics out of context to try to spin a narrative.

Looking at just the most recent ones, either 0 or 1 of the deaths per week were people under the age of 65. Also unless I am missing it, it doesn't mention if that under 65 was vaccinated or not. We've known for a while that the 65+ age group are considered as "high risk" when it comes to COVID-19. There was a strong push for those aged 65 and up, those who are immunocompromised or those who have comorbidities to get the vaccine.

People 65 and older are more likely to have serious health concerns when it comes to COVID or other health issues in general. It's no surprise that people in this age group are dying more, regardless of vaccination status.

The bullshit you're spewing right now is a classic case of "correlation does not equal causation" and if you don't understand what that means that maybe go dO sOmE mOrE rEsEaRcH.

Edit: Their account is suspended, lmao. Wonder why!

Atheists are actually some of the most militantly anti-religion of all. Can't say I know too many that are Republicans.

Atheists are a-religion, not necessarily anti religion. It literally means without religion.

True that some are against religion, but so many religions are "anti" other religions that arent their own.

Most people subscribe to a particular religion because they were born into and raised in it.

How many "one true god" can there be?

A true atheist isnt "anti" religion, he just doesnt care to participate.

Its without belief in god(s). Most atheists are agnostic atheists. A Gnostic atheist would be claiming to know for a fact and that's as absurd as a Gnostic theist.

I'm an atheist and don't any away from that. I also go to a Universal Unitarian Church nearby that has a diverse mix of beliefs.

Oh, they participate alright. Ever been into /r/atheist? Their favorite hobby is participating by blocking others from participating in theirs. They're some of the most vehement of all.

I cant speak for them, but most atheists just dont care. They prioritize other things than religion in their lives and dont need structure or threats to do the right moral thing. Keep your guilt to yourselves.

I get that religion does both good and bad for people and that some people need that.

I do resent having to fund them by paying taxes when they dont. Especially now when so many "churches " are more political action groups than spiritual places.

Ive never had any interest in going to /r/atheist

Or you only hear those because most of us atheists don't give a shit. Its when people try to push religion on us or make false claims. For one America is not a Christian country, heck we don't even have an official language.
