ThinkProgress’ Zack Ford apparently was very upset about the idea of a ‘National Day of Prayer.’ Forget that it really had nothing to do with him and nobody was forcing anybody to pray … look at this.
I'm an atheist. I don't pray. Not even on the "National Day of Prayer." Not ever.
Many people don't pray. Many people don't believe in prayer. A National Day of Prayer erases and stigmatizes many of us.
But we are here, and we will keep fighting for freedom FROM religion.

We read a LOT of hot takes but wow, this one is out there.
Dude.
Why would he think someone praying would erase and or stigmatize him? Sounds to this editor like he needs a whole LOTTA prayers … just sayin’.
“Erases and stigmatizes.” What absolute tosh.

So using that.

Going through life thinking you are the ultimate victim of people you don’t even know; that has to be just exhausting.
For someone who is irreligious, you sure carry a cross around everywhere you go. https://t.co/WpmQU2x9YW

I hate when government agents burst into my house and force me to pray at gunpoint.

Not all heroes wear capes.
Just sayin’.
I’m an atheist. You are an anti-theist
— Sean Peake (@SeanPeake) May 3, 2019
Bingo.
Atheists don’t believe in God.
Anti-theists are against religion.
There is a difference.
Climb that intersectionality ladder, Zack. Someday you'll make it to the victimhood top.

I’m a Buddhist. I don’t pray I don’t think there’s anyone to pray too. I really hear of Buddhists being invited to these things. I don’t care. I’m not defined by what other people are doing.
I think you should grow up.

You know how you get freedom from religion in this country? Don't join one. You're talking about freedom from ideas you don't like.
