Sadly, it is true that as some people become atheists they hold onto all the prejudices and hate that had originated in religion. A very few atheists mange to be bigots without any kind of religious upbringing. Some people are just assholes.
Conservatives love conformity.
They don't love the notion that everyone has the same rights because there has to be an order in their minds. The order ranges from "Cis Heterosexual White Men" to "Transgender Homosexual Black Women" that's why so many black trans women are murdered and their murderers aren't found because the police really aren't looking for them.
To the Conservative mind most people (whites are just a large minority after all) don't actually qualify as people.
This is exactly why we desperately need passage of the ERA, if the law says we're equal then there will be consequences for the injustices that currently happen every day without consequences in 2021.
Instead we have to live with one law protecting one group at a time.
They fought womens rights, then civil rights, then gay rights, now trans rights.
We just need one law, that says everyone has the same rights to end all these battle fields.
Good article, thank you for the share! The author makes what should be an obvious observation: “[B]eing an atheist doesn’t mean you’re a good critical thinker.”
That said, the willingness of these so-called believers to embrace someone whose core belief is antithetical to theirs serves to demonstrate just how hypocritical and politically motivated these people are.
Lots of atheists are assholes. I found that out from this site, although most are nice.
