“You give somebody an inch, and they take a mile.”
Like the Christains? We stopped throwing them to the lions, and they immediately threw pagans to the lions. For the same reasons?
And centuries later, they think it’d be okay to torture Atheists. Or at least, it’s an option.
“Because we did stop the persecutions and stuff against atheists, but not”
Now.
They HAVE to be saying ‘now’ at this point.
"they want to promote atheism, why is this?”
Well, if you still think persecuting people for a lack of agreeing with you is okay, or a choice, then it’s in self-defense for us to promote atheism.
"Did we not stop the Inquisitions and stuff?”
Not.
As pointed out above, it’s not stopped, just packaged differently.
