Quote by: HelioPrime I think it's the atheists who should take a look at their belief's or lack of them, they seem to be the angry ones always commenting on religion like an envious child.

I beg to differ... you're not the one who has spent their entire life listening to respected "Men of God" telling millions of my fellow citizens, and millions of my fellow citizens telling each other, that >I< am the moral equivalent of murderers, rapists, child molesters and communists, that >I< am a source of evil, that >I< am immoral by definition and that >I< deserve to suffer unspeakable agony for all eternity, simply because I happen to believe something differently.

But after a lifetime of that, am I bitter??? Nah, not me.

Quote by: HelioPrime Where does it say that?

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;"

In 1863, Congress made a law respecting an establishment of religion on our national currency. A clear violation of the Constitution.

In 1868, Congress made a law respecting an establishment of religion on our paper currency. Another clear violation.

In 1954, Congress made a law respecting an establishment of religion in our school children's Pledge of Allegiance, yet another clear violation.

And, in 1957 Congress made yet another law respecting an establishment of religion in our National Motto.

No where has any individual been denied the right to their personal free expression of religion, except where it interfered with the rights of others.

Quote by: HelioPrime I'm not implying the nation was intended to be a christian one, but if in some states the majority of the population want that then I see no reason why the minorities should try and fight this.

Fine. And if in some states the majority of the population -- as was the case in the Jim Crow South -- wants blacks to be segregated and repressed, do you see any reason why the minority should try and fight it?

Quote by: Morality Games Atheists and theists resent each other and treat one another badly on more or less equal terms

Bullsh!t. What atheists want more than anything is to be accepted as equals within our own society and not universally condemned as evil by definition.

Theists despise atheists simply for what we think... atheists despise theists for the way they treat us, insult us and condemn us. Big difference.
