Prejudice vs. Discrimination

This article still has difficulty with the examples it uses to show discrimination... a lot of the examples demonstrate prejudice against atheists... but not discrimination. These are not the same. Prejudice is based on attitude... discrimination is based on action. The Turkish poll discussed above is a very good example of this. The poll shows that many Turks are prejudiced against atheists... but for this to be discrimination, they would have to act on this attitude (by, for example, not selling houses to atheists, or restricting them to a specific section of town).

:If you're arguing the title, then it should start off as 'Persecution', since atheists can still be executed / get the death penalty in 13 countries. Nopowernoblood (talk) 00:10, 17 April 2025 (UTC)

The '''Atheist Rap''' search engine problem

Some Slavs did something similar to Atheist Rap sub-genre of rap.

The Slavs of Atheist Rap band (not the Anglophone atheistic sub-genre of rap) use an Anglophone name, and 1. don't play rap but most crucially 2. they lower very much the search engine rankings of the atheistic rap as a music genre. Unwantedly. They speak in some Slavic tongue, but they use a title of a musical genre which already suffers!!!

Atheist rap exists as a genre, but you have to be patient and know before it exists. The Slavs appear even if you don't ask specifically for happy slavic music.

India

A false impression is created through this entry that it is the Catholics who persecute atheists in India. In reality, it is the majoritarian right-wing and proto-fascist Hindutva scenario - in political power at the Center through the BJP and its allies as well as in social power, primarily in the Northern, North-Western and Western parts of the country, who perpetrate persecution on atheists, rationalists, Muslims, Christians, the indigenous and other minority peoples. 42.108.83.61 (talk) 07:48, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
