By all means pizzahut go after atheism. That's not religious oppression or evil theocracy. The religious oppression and evil theocracy part comes in when religions try to use the government to mandate people obey their particular views. Preach them all you want (as long as you don't mind some debate), but using legislation to force the views on people that don't share them is religious oppression. Considerable difference.

I dont wanna go after anything, I (unlike many other people here) respect other people's beleifs and I would never try to attack them. But I will always defend my beleifs when they are in discussion.

That had nothing to do with what I was discussing. When I said "Go after atheism" that was merely a response to the assertion that if you were to go after atheism, it would be viewed as religious oppression and evil theocracy. The encouragement to "go after atheism" was meant to show that it is not offensive to question an atheist as to the merits of his atheism, as it should not be offensive to question a religious person as to the merits of their beliefs.
