You hit upon an important point. What intrigues me in this controversy is that the dividing line is belief in a god of some kind, not belief in a specific God defined by a particular ideology. Believers of various stripes can join hands in spite of adhering to contradictory theologies, but scoff at the unbeliever is if disbelief is a greater contradiction. I find it truly mind-boggling. If you’re are a Christian who is going to get upset at an atheist for being an atheist, then you should be upset at a Jew for being a Jew, and upset at any other denomination of Christianity. If you believe in a Creator, it matters who that Creator is. Regardless, that argument has no bearing on our objectively discernible nature from where our rights are derived.
