The views and opinions expressed here are the commentators' own and do not reflect the official position of Atheist Republic.

Recently, a South African posted on the Reddit forum r/atheism that they were threatened with termination of their employment "for being openly atheist." The threat came after the person shared a “Happy Atheist Day” picture on their WhatsApp status, which they believed to be only viewable to friends and family. "I was forced to remove the status. I now have a "consultation" with our (Christian and offended) HR lady on Friday," the post said. I "need to be prepared for this," the individual said. Although the post has since been deleted, and the individual who posted it was using a "throw-away" account, the comments on the original post in r/atheism is still available for viewing. One Redditor quickly advised the original poster to "make sure to get it in writing so you can sue them." At the same time, others recommended referring to existing laws in South Africa for legal remedies. In their official statement, the Atheist Republic Cape Town Consulate said they are “outraged at the blatant case of discrimination in our backyard.” The Atheist Republic Cape Town Consulate also reminded everyone through their statement that South Africa’s constitution “guarantees all citizens the right to freedom of and from religion.” “The veiled threat of job loss for failing to conform to dogma is unacceptable,” they added.
