Persecuted Agnostic...
Subtle difference
Perhaps you don't get offended because you are a believer & so understand their viewpoint?
I don't wish to have any faith tell me that I am being 'influenced' / 'controlled' by their God who is 'active in my life'...
If 'God being active in the hearts of ALL men & women' is a euphemism for all mankind being essentially good at heart then that is patently nonsense. There is a plethora of evil people in the world...
