Many stories have emerged of atheists being persecuted, mostly by the Evangelical groups inside institutions such as the Armed Forces, but there also instances where non-believers have received even harsher treatment when using legal methods to oppose religious practices, such as the case of Damon Fowler and Ellen Beth Wachs.
So the release of the film The Ledge will at least be a controversial one in the US – it’s being heralded as the “Brokeback Mountain” for American atheists and could cause a wave of renewed interest in the movement. The story focuses on the lives of two people from opposing ends of the spectrum, who become enrolled in a lethal game that neither God nor the police can stop.

Poor old athiests...persecuted here on earth, and wait until you see what's in store for you in the next world! Fortunately its not too late to accept Christ's gift of salvation.

Wahhhh everyone is being persecuted ! ! ! Everyone is a victim ! !
And why not? Seems sometimes like playing the victim is the only way to get ahead...
Well, all I can say to this is that the general athiest argument trend has to be to deny heatedly that they are a religion, or any kind of group. Athiests, I keep hearing, are defined by what they aren't rather than what they are.
So which one is it? Because persecution happens to groups with beliefs that can be defined. So are any brave athiests going to claim they actually are a group with beliefs? If not, I don't see how "persecution" is technically possible.
