I suspect it’s far less common, but I don’t have any numbers.
It depends in large part how you define “atheist”- does this include people with religious or spiritual beliefs, but don’t believe in a diety?
Or does it exclude the supernatural altogether?
Regardless, personally… I don’t care. Like, yes, absolutely equal rights to love who you want. Absolutely should be codified into law. Don’t get me wrong… everyone should have that right… and equal access to healthcare, and the rights to decide what happens to and in one’s body.
But personally… I don’t care. I don’t care if you specifically are gay, or if you’ve had six abortions in the last year. It just doesn’t matter- and it really, really Shouldn’t matter at all.
That people are trying to make it matter… trying to discriminate and make it illegal? Yes. That matters. That’s wrong and evil. Their hatred is something that we need to stand against.
When special counsel Jack Smith criminally charged Donald Trump this month for attempting to overturn the 2020 election, the indictment referenced six unnamed co-conspirators—five of whom are identifiable—who aided the ex-president’s plot to stay in power, i.e. break the law. Why Smith chose not to charge these individuals...
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis late Monday gave former President Trump and 18 co-defendants until Aug. 25 at noon to voluntarily surrender in Georgia following an indictment that unveiled multiple charges in connection to their attempts to interfere in the 2020 election.
The secret service will surrender him to keep him from doing something stupid. (Cuz you want a dead criminal ex-president… running from lawful arrest is how you get dead criminal ex presidents)

… you, uh, new here? They never thought interracial friendships should be tolerated. And yes. They’ve thrown tantrums about it. (see… the whole civil rights movement era…)
Most right-leaning individuals are not racist homophobic dick-wads, they’re not waving the confederate flag, and they don’t want to vote for Trump or Desantis or whatever degenerate asshole is up on that podium next.
And yet something like 30% of eligible Americans voted for trump- and while a substantial number of republicans didn’t vote for trump but did vote down ballot… the vast majority of voting republicans did.
You’d be more persuasive if ya’ll didn’t vote for trump or the assholes like him.
Or even just came out and criticized them to their faces… and not inside the “librul echo chamber”; where it’s safe.
Silence is complicity.
You cannot be silent and not at least partly to blame.
what’s hilarious is he wasn’t really all that good of a mayor. he constantly got in the way of the 9/11 response, constantly fucked people over as a prosecuter, etc. The only noteworthy “good” thing he did was be mayor of a a city, when that city became the site of the worst terrorist attack in US history.

Holograms we’re around in one way or another. What’s her name in the Naked Sun (Asimov, the victims “husband”…) produced holographic art. That was first published in book form in ‘57.
Star Wars may have been the first largely because they were special effects pioneers.
don’t worry, they’ll be so relevant, you’ll just think the real content is… just a really clever add. (Okay, so maybe all you’ll see is just advertising. but how is that different than YT already is is?)
Hmmm… can you imagine if they figure out how to start pumping other sensations? Dr. Sasquatch soap… making you think you smell like a mangy dog. the not-as-itchy socks company… giving you the sensation of itchy socks.
whatever iteration of as-seen-on-YT wonderbra they happen to be on… only to realize, your manboobs aren’t actually that large…awkward.
