What would be an appropriate platform to explore this? It's censored everywhere else.
Does it make you suspicious that it's censored?
You sound so fearful and indecisive that you are paralyzed. The idea that talking about things gives power to it is a horrible world view and short sighted. Also, the holocaust did not happen.

As an atheist I can agree, but in that case calls to prayer should also be reprimanded and they are not. Public praying in the streets causing road blocks should be reprimanded as well, but they are not.
that's self inflicted
just move
As a fellow atheist, I can tell you that most people in the part of the country where I live treat atheists like lepers. Can't recall the study, but most Americans respond that they trust Jews, Muslims, and Hindis more than they do atheists.
Mormons knock on my door every so often, I constantly find fliers for whatever church in my mail, and even Christian friends that know me, ask "to have a civil conversation." It is exhausting, and all I want is for religious people to afford me the same courtesy that I do them.
We have Jehova's knocking on our door at regular intervals and they always have kids with them. I used to bark at them until piotrr told me that they bring the kids to teach them how horrible the others are unlike themselves. After that I'm very careful to be civil and politely say no to their leaflets and wish them a good day. Haven't seen them for a while now.
If they knock I try to keep them here as long as possible. I'm doing my part.

If you notice, the further away you get from population, the more devout the religious are. There is too much exchange of ideas, experience and knowledge for religion to stay within the populace. And the further out the person/people is, the more they think everyone closer isnt living to (fill in diety's name here) word. Muslims in the backass part of Afghanistan probably think redneck religious here isn't dedicated enough to take their own loves for their god.
