By then, it might even be somewhat acceptable to be an atheist, and an old man telling stories about how that would automatically make him look like the Devil in front of everyone else's eyes (especially in my case, because I'm on a heavily religious island) might seem somewhat farfetched.
Oh well, that's the price to pay for progress.

Plus, the vast majority of Muslims are peaceful, anyway, so, for what you're stating to take place, a violent revolution would have to succeed across the world. That seems unlikely.
Moreover, Christians, Catholics, etc, can be equally as dangerous as any radicalized Muslim. Going off of how my classmates would react at the university, there are more than a few Christians/Catholics there that would have beheaded me, if the law had allowed it, on the spot.
Bigotry is present everywhere and in everything. History is evidence of that, for the intolerance and terrors of the Church have long been documented. It's by mere, borderline arbitrary coincidence that I was born in a part of the world where this specific kind of religious barbarism is no longer allowed. That's the sole difference.
However, there are other ways of "eliminating" someone. Let's not underestimate the damage people can do. I've gone through it.
When I was a teacher, a mother who volunteered at the school asked me what religion I was tied to. In my absolute ignorance back then, of course compounded by my worries as to the bigger issues, I didn't even think and took it for granted that this was some sort of actual questionnaire (sleep deprivation sucks). I answered that I didn't visit a Church.
Not long after that, one of the teachers I had the unfortunate experience of sharing a classroom with began ranting to the students about how terrible atheists are and how religion is the only way, etc.
She hated me, so I immediately knew this was just an attempt to rouse a reaction out of me, basing herself off the mother's rumor. It wouldn't have been her first time or her last. She did worse to me later on. They all did.
I don't know how they found out really, but I assume someone back from college must've spread the word that I was an atheist, which prompted them to verify. Either that, or I screwed myself by speaking without thinking. Then again, though, what in the world would prompt them to ask such a thing? What can only come to mind is a set-up from someone who thought I had it coming.
And that's life. Just like any one of the conservative guys on here would love for me to kill myself or would jump at the opportunity to do me harm. People are savages. Let's not have illusions or pretend that there is anything or anyone better than anything or anyone else.
Luckily for me, however, my time is coming (to clarify for the conservatives, I'm referencing economic depression, not suicide). And I'll be happy when I don't have to wake up to this world any longer.
So enjoy outliving me, guys, LOL, but I'm still going to have a laugh on here, until then.
