"Even atheists"? Are atheists pretty evil, but not quite this evil? Are atheists well-known for being anti-freedom? Why "even atheists"?

#5This is bad. I get that religion has taboos, but religion also has an influence on morals. Yes, there are ways to be a good moral person without the Bible, but are we really giving people agency and the ability to choose if they are sensored? Human rights are human rights and as a human I should have the right to obtain a Bible if I so chose and live the consequences there of.

It's been spiraling down for a while now. I know quite a few Chinese who moved from China to the U.S. now, while they can. A couple of them are LGBT, where it was made clear they weren't welcome - even with PhD's in Chemical Engineering and Physics.

They got that way, and keep it that way, by doing things like this.

As an atheist i can't even see why they would ban it. It's a mish mash of traditional views, fallacies , contradictions and stories. Studying it should teach you see all these things.

Christian churches played a major role in the end of communism in East Germany.

I think they meant that it is evil; also atheiest-- people who do not believe in any religion, would not do such a thing.
