Let's see what happens if I start promoting atheism and mocking belief in Bronze Age alpha males in the sky.

And that’s basically it!
I'm sure when atheists and satanists start proselytising there will be outrage - "we really meant Christians should allowed to bother their co-workers not you guys"
I bet you a coke this is to fuck with the FFRF and MRFF, two great orgs trying to keep religion out of our gov.
Satanism pamphlets in the break room!
Time to found Epsteinology, a religion based around the release and realization of the Great Nefarious Files to bring about the Grand Awakening and destruction of the Orange Menace for the good of all Humanity.
Not to be confused with epistemology, which also poses a grave risk to the MAGA cult.
Their beliefs are more like Piss-stain-ology.
Ha! Yeah that one produces anaphylaxis in most Magats... I'm not necessarily opposed to that either.
So this is where the new new atheist movement will start.
Also, remember epstein? whatever happened to that guy?
I'm more concerned about his files.
I don't think people really understand what's comming. Everyone's like "so now everyone can talk about their respective religion, haha". But where I see this going is only the one right religion being acceptable in near future and everyone who's making clever remarks being outlawed and prosecuted. The fact we're not there yet makes the obvious progression to that none the less scary.
I don't think you realize that christians aren't as popular as they were before. There are a LOT of others and non religious. I don't think christians are going to enjoy the process as much as they think.
Frankly, I'd never hire or do business with a fundie. It's hard to put my finger on it, but there's something about their desire to enslave or kill nonbelievers that makes me uncomfortable.
It’s giving Under His Eye, Blessed be the Fruit vibes tbh.
For anyone else who also doesn't recognize this, it's a greeting phrase from the TV show A Handmaid's Tale.
"Please talk about anything else but the epstein files"
Time to start turning my coworkers into atheists.
All jokes aside, this ends when we ban orginized religion.
Nobody should be publicly religious. Do it in your own home.
I haven't worked in an office since before the pandemic, but back when I did I had super religious republican guy who sat to my left. On his left there was another lefty atheist like myself. 3 years later we had him voting for Biden and doubting his entire faith.
You broke through the religious echo chamber. Well done!
3-4 years of being proven incorrect day in and day out does that I think. Takes persistence. I still keep in contact with the guy actually. He's a really good guy, just was very ignorant on a lot of things. I've heard he's had a lot of arguments with the very conservative side of his family since then.
My mother, on the other hand, nearly 80 years old and completely brainwashed. No amount of persistence would ever work on her. Unfortunately, I think thats the reality for the majority of the MAGA idiots.
Keep it between you and god, where it belongs.
i’m waiting for this to backfire on him as muslims openly pray in their workplace at the designated times
Surely that goes both ways, and one side has a lot more evidence...
Everything is "evidence" when your side has "faith" and "control of the government"
I hope the Satanic Temple can have some fun with this.
This is the time to start invoking all of the gods for a more dynamic and adaptive office environment.
"Listen, Ryan, I'm gonna need you to ask yourself what Enki would do in this situation, ok? You're giving Enlil when I need an Enki. Dammit, get your head in the game. Have you not been keeping up on this stuff? Seriously, if you've been experimenting with that Jesus stuff again I'm gonna come unglued, I swear. Get off the fuckin cross already, jeez."
Oh no, anyone trying to promote non-christian ideologies will 100% get instacanned under this order I'm sure
Do you have a minute to talk about our lord and savior Baphomet?
Every job I've ever had, my coworkers and I have pretty openly discussed the 'taboo' shit like religion and politics. We can generally keep the flames under control, and if shit does start to heat up we'll change the topic knowing that the conversation isn't going anywhere at that point... but ultimately it's been a consistent point of growth for pretty much everyone involved.
Coming from the Trump regime, I can only assume it means "convert your non-christian coworkers to christianity, and other application of this policy will get you fired" so, 100% fuck this shit. Coming from less of an absolute shitstain traitor, I'd actually be in favor of this kind of rhetoric. Maintain policies requiring professional behavior and prohibiting harassment so that those who don't want to discuss it are empowered to shut the conversation up; but in a consensual setting, sure I'll hear you pitch coming to Jesus or w/e - so long as you're equally receptive to my counterargument.
That's not how it's gonna work, so again, fuck everything about this, but fuck if it doesn't hint at a nice sounding ideal.
This shit only flies as long as it isn't a Muslim doing it.
Reminds me of Valarie Hodges in Lousiana like a dozen years ago. Where she stopped supporting religious vouchers for school cause an Islamic school wanted to use them and she didn't realize that could happen.
That's pretty much the entire operating model of the Satanic Temple. Either you're getting a Baphomet statue to go with it, or you're losing that Jesus one.
Hail Hydra :)
THANK YOU TRUMP for allowing me to FINALLY share the Teachings of ALLAH with other Government Workers!
