Since the recent controversy where advertisers pulled their support from videos flagged by activists as 'extreme'. The word 'atheist' or 'atheism' are now banned from use as new video titles. The 'progressive'left and their activists with their brow beating of corporations and institutions to support censorship to protect 'feelings' is f-ucking up free society.

Are any and all words to do with religions also banned? If not, think again about who's driving the censorship. If they are all banned, then Google are just doing their bit to turn the world into a soulless, homogenous consumer state.

If so I'd imagine that would violate the Freedom of Religion in the constitution - Atheism is technically religious, in that it exists only as a refutation of religion.

The 2014 General Social Survey reported that 21% of Americans had no religion with 3% being atheist and 5% being agnostic. While that doesn't make a lot of sense to me what seems obvious is that not being religious is a minority position in the US. A position corporations apparently don't want to be associated with.

I doubt that the owner company would have done this without lawyer input. Still, something like this should be against the law and if it is.... I hope they get sued to the nines.

US corporations, and government, are very effectively bullied by pressure groups, with what is essentially economic terrorism.

Do people that believe in God ever recognise that they are pledging their faith to a vengeful deity that can condemn them to eternal damnation if they entertain the concept of another vengeful deity that they've also never seen? Seems a bit like Russian Roulette to me. Best not believe in any of them and then at least you won't have incurred any wrath for picking the wrong one.

Or to put it more succinctly, Ricky Gervais (who is basically a bell end but has a good grasp of atheism) said something along the lines of "since the dawn of time there have been 2870 potential deities recognised by religions. Religious people don't believe in 2869 of them, atheists don't believe in 2870 of them".
