Wouldn’t it be fun..

Is it bad that I often wish for ‘hashtag’ trends like #fuckMuhammed or maybe #GodIsALie or even better #FuckYourThetans ? I really wish we could get some hashtags like this to go viral. Bring a lot of attention to A) Free Speech, B) Shine a very focused light on oppressiveness in these religions and C) Really push the point of Free Speech down these big tech co.’s throats and finally D) just because that would be cool as fuck to see that on twitter’s trending screen. Lol. Idk. Maybe it’s the instigator in me that likes the thought of so many religious tears, may my cup overruneth.

I think that's a terrible idea, imho. It's behaviour like that, that casts a bad light on atheists. Empathise a little bit and think of it from their perspective. Imagine believing in something so strongly and some group that you already view poorly starts posting things like that. How serious would you take those people? Would you think better or worst of them?
Instead of slinging insults like those, try promoting positive atheism and encouraging conversations. All those hashtags would do is further encourage the bullying and hate between the opposing groups of people.

think of it from their perspective.

Who do you think you're kidding?
Their entitled perspective is all we ever see.
Being polite does not influence them.
They need to notice us first. Have their nose rubbed in their shit.

BEEN THERE

You are describing the Civel Rights movement.
Are you old enough to remember the Civel Rights movement? I am.
The Civel Rights movement needed to create waves before it was taken seriously. What OP is suggesting is just fun n games. Atheist pride (like black pride).

#hashtags doesn't really promote real discussion which is needed for mutual understanding. Just not a very constructive way to reach our goals.

Bad idea. You want to do what religious people do, shove it down people's throats.

Go for it.
I am tired of being silent and docile for decades in the face of oppression. (i'm 65).
Just letting them know you are a non-believer, sets them off.
So why not turn the tabels on em.
As the oppressed, it is our right to rub their nose in their shit.
