Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Are they really saying the correct things?
I've seen plenty of interviews where where they say that "God is great" on repeat. Thats not what you want to hear from your potential governing body.
Can't tell if this is edgy Atheism or Islamophobia.
In the unlikely event you actually want to get out whichever bubble you're in, that phrase is extremely common in that part of the world. It's a nothing burger, calm down.
Theocratic rule, no matter which theology, never improves things for the citizens.
When an country forces its citizens to follow a state-mandated religion or else face death or severe punishment, and enacts laws that severely limit its citizens' freedom in the name of their chosen state religion, is it really considered "edgy" to be against it? I dunno, being against tyranny doesn't sound like something exclusive to atheists. The tyranny being religious in nature doesn't change that.
I think them using the term 'edgy' was just projection. It's best to avoid taking the bait when trolls do their thing.
Why don’t you live somewhere with theocratic rule?
Weird that part of the world is so dangerous for women, LGBTQ, atheists, Christians… anyone not Muslim…
Im sure it has nothing to do with their minds being stuck in ‘repeat religious phrases non-stop’ mode.
Yeah, but you're just as bad for pointing that out

I heard it's all the Democrats fault for not fixing it when they had power.

Yes it is a common phrase but how many governments honestly benefited from having a religious influence? It's not phobic to be concerned that this new government will be created with any religious groups ideology as guidelines instead of foundational morals and freedoms at it's core.
To your point, removed hard r was a common phrase as well unfortunately is becoming more common again in the us.
Just because it's common doesn't mean it should not be laid ro rest
Religion as a base of government is shit, regardless of which make-belief you got bred with.
I don't like labels, cause they simplify an opinion you might hold. But i suppose i have some atheistic views, and that's it.
