Atheism doesn't have anything to do with a moral code, it only addresses belief in gods. It seems like atheists are supposed to be held to a higher standard?

That sounds an awful lot like when other minorities are scolded for being too strident about equality. Keep quiet, you! You might offend someone! Then they'll call us names!

Why should we allow the majority to tone police us?
