I see this no differently than if my neighbor set up loud speakers on their property to blast out a few minutes of their favorite song 5 times a day.

Blasting anything over loud speakers is disturbing the peace.....slapping a religious label on it doesn't change that.

It is rude and obnoxious and selfish.

The only thing that should be blasted over loud speakers for all to hear is severe weather warnings.
Where is that happening in the US?

Christians, of course, are in no way or form "marginalized" in this country at all. What a load of complete nonsense and BS.

Pope Francis writes atheists can go to heaven | News.com.au
Pope Francis assures atheists: You don’t have to believe in God to go to heaven

He's missing the point, but it's an interesting gesture.

Why do Atheists always feel the need to put people down for their faith? Maybe because life is too good for them? This has always been my suspicion. The fact is that most of you are more familiar with your smartphone than you are with thoughts of the meaning of life. You are just a casualty of this degeneration into an agnostic bog that all metaphysical thought seems to be heading.

You are a symptom of the disease, you are not a cure.

why are theists always so insecure about their faith that they cant handle atheists' criticism?

You act like atheists control the government, or come to your door and tell you to become atheists or be tortured forever, or go to soldier funerals and tell you he died because he wasnt atheist, or are building huge atheist monuments on public land, or use billions in taxfree money to fund political agendas and suppress the disenfranchised, or fill up 76% of our prison system.

What a crock. YOU are the disease. Atheists have simply inoculated themselves.

There is your first problem.
I don't feel the need to discuss anyones faith until they shove their beliefs under my nose. Then I tell them exactly what I think of their beliefs.
Keep your beliefs out of my face, and I won't need to tell you what I think about your religion.

I would never do that. But I would challenge you to not limit your thinking of why you are here, on this Earth. Why were you given this chance at life? I believe there is a reason, no way all this is random.

I have my own opinions on the issue. Everyone has opinions, but no one has any proof of the how or why.
Having no proof does not mean the "god did it".
