Are atheists seditious?

The recent racists, charged for sedition (what does the sedition act charge?), has generated a huge amount of hee hur hoo har. Rather than saying that there are two sides, because the key to the whole thing is not to speak in absolutes, two of the many sides are gathering many troops.

Basically one of those sides says those racist deserves it and no one should speak up for them for they have sprouted intolerant speech, covering violence as one of its aspects. And one of the other sides are saying that Nogum city does not have adequate laws for these racists and that using seditious act is um... doing something to free speech.

If you look at both sides of the argument distantly enough, you'll realise that it is basically a chicken and a duck trying to talk in penguin speak. Chicken speaking penguin in its own chicky way and duck speaking in its own ducky way, both not really speaking the penguin way, and communication while effective, but not really penguin.. if u get what i mean.

It seems the stifling of speech (free or no) is going to send tremors to anyone who has anything to say, and it didn't matter whether what they were saying were seditious anot. Self-censorship becomes a priority to healthy lifestyle. And self-censorship in this case, is applied to the mouth rather than the eyes or ears.

Many bloggers are taking an absolutist view on speech, either a person is saying seditious stuff or he/she is not. That such stuff are always a clear cut. And speaking in gray areas is not going to get one persecuted, given the fact that the current racists did not speak in grey areas, which is a logical fallacy. What is of concern, is the possbility of shrinking grey areas in the future.

The main point of the issue is about intolerance. Intolerance is bad for social animals (humans) and bad for evolution. Intolerance stifles economy too. But what about religion. A belief works by the act of believing. I have no idea how to better explain the word "believe", but to "believe", would come with it, a very strong bias and a very different concept of intolerance. Intolerance would degenerate into disagreeing with said belief.

What is going to happen is an empowerment of 'free' speech to religious people of generally accepted religions. These people could promote their religion, because they are saying what they believe in. Atheists, on the other hand, cannot tell people not to believe in religion, because telling others that their religious beliefs are irrational would make the theist angry and possibly call the police at 3am and haul the atheist in for sedition. So its ok to tell people not to believe in their religion so long as you're telling them to believe in your religion...

Just in case anyone thinks to say otherwise... atheism is a lack of belief in any gods, not a belief that there are absolutely no gods.

Not only do atheists have to go to every hell of many religion, they could possibly have to go to jail. Oh well...
