That sounds clever, but in fact, while obviously atheism is not a religion, I think that discussing atheism counts as discussing religious beliefs, yes.

My interpretation is that the topic is politics. Whether it’s specific political individuals, groups or candidates is beside the point. Saying “I don’t talk about politics bro” is actually a political stance.

Well…. I agree with the cartoon, really annoying to see comments on crime stories like “keep voting demorcat!!” But hmm, you just brought politics to this topic
