      Atheism is when you accept collective punishment of religious people

      What is the source of your quote? Refusing to buy something from a seller is punishment of the seller?

        What do you think is the intention behind sanctions? Scott Bessent literally bragged about sanctions being the cause of economic hardship, it doesn’t matter to the US government that sanctions literally kill people, because suffering is the point.

          I understand the article topic is enforced sanctions on third parties. That however was not quite what I was getting at, as my question was about two parties, a buyer and a seller: an atheist entity and a religious entity. Also, I note you didn’t answer my question about the source of your atheism quote.
