We could argue the finer points of it (which I really don't care to), but religious privilege is a thing. Though I would limit it to mainstream, christian religions here in the U.S. So perhaps using the term mainstream-religious privilege would have been better.

I certainly agree that minority religions lack the kind of privilege I'm talking about (I grew up in one). There are plenty of folks in minority religions who have it way worse than most atheists, but that doesn't mean we can't talk about shit atheists face.

Either way, I was using it as a common ground, so we had a place to start from in the way of understanding.
