You truly say many, many things you think are clever but are so, so ridiculously unrepresentative of the person you are arguing with that it is impossible to take you seriously. Avowed atheists that experience social pressure to conform are not claiming to be "victims of Theistic oppression". Hyperbole much?

PS: The "genetic fallacy" has nothing to do with indoctrination of belief systems - you're using it wrong and obviously don't understand it. The genetic fallacy is, ironically, applicable to Textcritic's argument about the universality of religious experience though. "Every society has had religion, therefore society needs religion or something to replace it that is religion by another name."

PPS Also, you may be interested to know there are more nuances of politics than "agrees with Illuminaughty" and "Marxist". Although your habit of misrepresentation must be catching, as the first part of that sentence is probably wrong: I'm sure you're not at all interested to know.
