Just food for thought on your question.[/b] |
Schools teach math, science, history, literature, etc. They do not teach people live with our without religion. They are not promoting Atheism; they're staying out of religion. There is a difference between not supporting any religion and supporting against the idea of a god.
I can't imagine atheism being declared a religion. I don’t' have full access to the net right now, so I can't do a search, but any anyone provide data on the U.S. declaring atheism a "religion." If so they need to look up what it means to be religious and what is means to be an atheist.
<!--QuoteBegin-Mr.Vicchio,
The answer to that is, yes they could form a "gay religion" but marriage is not just a religious affair, its also a legal status, outside of the religous component.
BTW anyone see that Italy rejected Gay marriage by like 70%?[/quote]
I'm assuming by your last quote you're inferring that because the majority of people disagree with gay marriage that makes it immoral. That is absolutely fine. Just keep your mind open and remember that the majority of people in our past have also supported slavery, female oppression, "separate but equal" laws, and religious prejudice among many others. It seems that sometimes the majority winds up being morally incorrect given time.
