Oppression
Being forced to believe in things that are not real. To endure injustice. To be chilled from pursuing reality as it really is. To be denied the understanding of understanding. To be required to behave in a way that lacks ethics and honesty. To be forced to live the lie. Oppression is to be forced to be silent with respect to the truth. To be denied the freedom to practice Realism and to explore reality the way it really is. To be denied the right to express our thoughts and to share them with others. To be cut off from the Tree of Knowledge.

It is oppressive for us to be forced to participate in the rituals of other religions. To be forced to acknowledge deities which don't exist or choose to remain invisible to realists. To endure living in a society that is not religiously neutral - a society that is dominated by another religion. To be forced to endure a morality structure that is based on mythology rather than reality. It is oppressive to be forced into fighting a war that is really between other religions and is a battle for religious dominance. It is oppressive to be dominated by a government which is dominated by a mythology based religion. It is oppressive to have to pay taxes to support the activities of mythology based religions.
