Quote by: HelioPrime  One issue I always think of is the attack on anything religious in public life.
Even simple matters, such as the word god in school prayer, or a footballs teams tradition to have a prayer before a game, all these are attacked as promoting religion.
It's attacks seeking to end religion by trying to remove all traces of it from the public realm, in the hope by some non theists that children will grow up never heading of the word god or of a church because all religious ideals have been taken out of society and placed only in peoples private homes.
Because religion needs to be taught to be spread properly, then many believers will instantly come into conflict with attempts to remove faith from the public realm. |
Unless you are willing to tolerate Richard Dawkins and Daniel Dennet systematically giving speeches encouraging atheism and describing the shortcomings of religion in every elementary and high school auditorium, you should abandon this logic. Living in a democratic society means no faction can use neutral territory to encourage their ideals. That's what it means to be equal, and that is fairness in a democracy.
Since I have to be considered equal to you, the least you could do is stop complaining about not receiving special status.
