GENEVA (Reuters) - Atheist groups, who say millions of non-religious people face persecution in many parts of the world, accused the European Union on Friday of failing to stand up for their rights in the United Nations.
They spoke as the 47-member U.N. Human Rights Council approved a resolution drafted by the EU calling for an end to religious intolerance and violence and for all governments to observe freedom of religion and belief.
But the campaigners, who had earlier given the council a report on abuse of atheists, mainly in Muslim countries, had sought a text making clear its injunctions included them.
"The wording of this resolution shows how the world, even the secular West, ignores the plight of atheists and other non-believers in many countries," said Sonja Eggericks, president of the International Humanist and Ethical Union.

As someone who has to hide his beliefs, I completely agree with this.

Hypocritical politicians won't care about the rights of atheists because it doesn't get them the votes.

They would rather support hate mongering mosques and creationist churches and even speaking at places like that instead of taking just a few minutes out of their time to raise awareness about the rights of atheists and the persecution they face at the hands of muslim and christian theocrats.

In my opinion a life without curiosity is not a life worth living
