Ha! If you're anti-religious, you must by definition also be anti-
semitic, since TTBOMK being Jewish is not defined so much as an
ethnic class as it is holding a religious tradition.
(See how easy it is to throw around a charge of anti-semitism?)
I've got nothing against the poor deluded people who are enthralled
by these poisonously evil memes. It's the wicked evil obnoxious filth
of the religious ideas I'm against whether they are Jewish,
Christian, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, Sikh, Nazi, Stalinist,
Scientologist...
