Indeed. And Bush is not really Christian, it's just another way of trying to get Christians on his side. It's all a ruse. It really sickens me how he's doing this. Bush: "Jesus is my favorite philosopher" He's not a God damned philosopher you twit!
Not major but if your a known atheist you will probably get property damage (as i stated). And when it gets reported to the police they say they will do an investigation and some how no one ever gets charged.....
Ha...homos dont know persecution. Homosexuals even though are persecuted they still have there freinds outisde of homosexuality (the heavy news coverage of homo persecution). Atheists on the other hand....well we only have other atheists.
Ha. Maybe. I know of no large scale "persecution" of atheists in the current US in the way you may be thinking of it.
Hey hey lol, I'm not an athiest, and I'll befriend anyone Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! Though I am geneally not religious, I just believen a higher being. I happen to agree on this. Though Wikipedia boasts EXTREMELY reliable, and very convenient, it's reasonably infered that seeing as it's writen by everyday users like ourselves, there's no actual proof becuz not all of it is cited. I generally use it alot becuz of the success rate, becuz so for it's proved useful to me.
I just read this article; isn't law and religion separate in the Constitution? Do they still make people swear on a religious text in the witness box in court?
thus the stupidty of our system. They say you can have a secular version and swear on the constitution but most courts dont even have a constitution and you are just told to swear to the flag. And most of the time your testimony is useless becuase the jury just reguards you as a lying peice of scum. (You can tell by the looks on there faces)
Only this: That the government shall make no law respecting the establishment of religion. Most support for the intentions of the framers comes form other documentation they wrote. Yes. (see SS's response).
Spiritual Spy: Over here it's generally considered "quaint" to have religion. About on a par with a loopy old aunt living in the spare bedroom - it happens but normally not brought up in conversation. For most of my life atheism (or at least non-practising believers - "Umm well I never really thought about it but there probably is god") has been the norm for the vast majority of people I meet. And here I was thinking the TV shows over here that show US evangelism were demonstrating a fringe thing. Although that would explain why the few American people we've had over to work in the office seemed sort of freaked out with a normal night out's discussion and attitudes - I'd always assumed they were a statistically small sample and we'd got the short end of the stick when representatives were chosen to be sent over.

Appreciate that and be glad you dont live in the US. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! Your shunned from society if you debate god over here.(Most of the time but not always so that way im not generalizing the good theists)
SS is correct. I openly admit my atheism to coworkers (ones I know well enough that is) and even if they aren't particularly religious, they get sort of quiet and almost embarressed. The religious indoctrination is that strong over here.
