I’m 40 now and have been atheist since I was 12. I vote, occasionally join a protest, and ignore the rest. People are free to practice whatever religion they want just as I am free to not. I used to engage in debates with religious folks but in my experience I have found none of them are open to having their minds changed so I don’t bother.
You can’t fight religious based oppression through discourse; it needs to be done at the ballot. Save those conversations for the like minded people in your life and organize with more of them.
