All religions. Not just those (some) atheists are willing to recognize.

If I actually said that, I was a bit over the top. I generally
distinguish the two. In fact, most /atheists/ I have encountered have
little or no interest in religion. They certainly do not respond to a
religious reference by immediately attacking the person making it. It
is the anti-religious fanatic that does that.

But without the context I cannot be sure. And nor can anybody else.

And, yes, this is a conclusion I reached a long time ago. That it is
not helping with rescuing MAGA from their alt-reality is a somewhat
newer idea.
