Just wanted to let OP know that he is a ****** . Why the **** is your "favourite part" the fact that he's an atheist? I couldn't care less if he was a super-Muslim-Hindu-Pastafarian. What matters here is that despite the disgraceful treatment this man had as a child, he still fights for what he believes in, which is equality for all. Stop trying to make this another "all atheists are awesome" post, since there are members of basically every religion on the planet that campaign for the same thing.
