As Christian nationalists intensify their war on non-believers, a growing number of Americans are fighting back against the erosion of religious freedom and the imposition of so-called "Christian values" on diverse beliefs and identities.
I've had people tell me I "shouldn't talk badly about Christianity because I'm not a Christian."
I'm technically an ex-Christian because I was raised in The Church (despite always being a non-believer). However, since Christianity was forced upon me at a young age and presented as the only option I had growing up (other than hell), I feel entitled (obligated) to speak up about the harm and dangers that can result from having one's choice to worship (or not worship) be taken away from them.
This video was based on a Substack post (below) that was shared with my Founding members on June 14th.

NOTES/DISCLAIMER:
It's important that we all understand, that as Autistic People, there is not a unified autistic experience. We all have different opinions and very different experience, and I think it's great to share those things.
If you're a NeuroTypical watching, remember that this is just my experience as a NeuroDivergent Person.
Hopefully, this video will inspire other NeuroDivergent People to share their experiences and how they relate, and maybe even do not, in the comments below.
I encourage you to listen to and read as many Autistic experiences as possible to best understand Autistic People.
I would LOVE to see more Autism vlogs by #ActuallyAutistic People.
