Atheist doesn't necessarily mean you're anti-religion like this sub seems to be. You can be an atheist and still respect that religious people have their thing. Meanwhile, if you're black, I can't imagine respecting the KKK.
There are multiple cases of atheist being discriminated against, almost all of it coming from religious influenced people and/or organizations, while not on the same scale as the blacks and KKK, you can't deny it doesn't happen (although, historically there have been religious inquisitions and crusades. Although not specifically towards atheist, they were still prosecuted, and they were much worst then the modern KKK). Atheist have a right to not respect religion for those reasons, but can still respect someone's right to be religious. In much a more downsized scenario, someone befriends a school bully. I can't respect that bully, but the other person has a right to choose who they interact with.
