This begs the question: Aren't Aspies statistically much more likely than non-Aspies to be atheists? Seems that by targeting atheists you'd end up targeting your own neurotype the most of all.
Seeing that belief is a choice I don't care. Seeing that atheists persecute my beliefs I don't care. My identity and beliefs go beyond mere statistics. Why am I bound to any belief system because of said statistics? Why do I have to be loyal to people against my beliefs just because we happen to be born in the same demographic?
You don't. Generational types are generalizations. There are people with all types of views and identities within every generation. So just consider yourself to be part of those groups with which you agree or share traits, and associate with them if you find that more pleasant than associating with various fanatics with whom you disagree.
The major division in our society is political, not generational. Millennials tend to be more liberal, but also tend to be independent. That's just a trend. White male millennials are more evenly split, and tend to be slightly conservative overall, a trend probably enhanced by the extreme conservatism among white southerners and among white males of border states. Millennials tend to be less religious than older folks, but many may be interested in spirituality. These are just trends, and no-one says the trend is everything.
