      Is it the “denying God means Islamophobia” thing? Its a pretty weak claim in most western contexts, though if you state your disbelief in an Islamic theocracy your head comes off all the same. It would be more accurate to say denying God usually comes with disrespect towards belief, and dislike of harmful beliefs. Feelings Islam becomes a prominent target of as a major religion, and due to its very harmful belief system the dislike tends to be very strong.

      So, was that it, or was it something else?

        Islamophobia is not right wing. You’re mixing it with racism. Transphobia is not right wing, just more common in the right.

        I think the whole claim is just plain stupid regardless of the context. In Islamic theocracies atheism would basically be heresy.

        Also the claims about transphobia. That has nothing to do with being an atheist and all about being an asshole.
