Facebook's Purported Bias Against Atheists

Mr. Scott said:
The site has a reputation for bowing to religious whiners who complain that criticism of their faith is hate speech. Ironically, Zuckerberg is purported to be an atheist himself.

Facebook once banned me from posting anything there for 24 hours for sharing a fact about a specific religion, and warned my that I'd be permanently banned if I had another violation. This made me angry enough to decide to report to Facebook moderators as hate speech when religious people call atheists stupid, and wish they'd suffer and die and burn in hell for eternity.

I've successfully had several such posts removed. Wish we could make this a spreading meme.

Just a question:
was the 'offending post' of yours that was removed on your wall? or was it posted to someone else's wall?
 
Facebook is biased towards idiots, on every issue. There's no reason to have real account tied to your real identity there. Make a squeaky-clean fake one for your boss, and a real one not tied to your actual identity in any way.

And on whose wall was your response, I am curious, not trying to blame.

Did you respond on the link (ie comment on the original), your friends wall or your wall?

I know you're not trying to blame. We are being analytical (and not whining).

A friend posted a link about a news event. It appeared on my main center facebook page (I think it's called the news feed). A few people had already commented. I commented also, and added a blog link on the topic to reinforce my point. Within a few hours, I was suspended from posting anything on facebook for 24 hours. It had to do with Islam, didn't contain "hate speech" -- just a fact Muslims wish infidels didn't know. FWIW I see one of the outsource sites that employs moderators at $1 an hour for facebook is in Morocco (98.7% Muslim according to CIA World Factbook).
