True. People who take their particular religious beliefs and try to force them on the people in general are pretty low.

Yes, and the religion of atheism should not be allowed to become the nation's religion, nor should the religion of earth worship, aka radical environmentalism, which is permeating throughout this leftist federal government.

Atheism isn't a religion.

That's like saying water is a soda.

Don't forget the religious right. They're really bad about that sort of thing (trying to force their beliefs on people).

I know; I am surprised the laws of the land are borne out of the Ten Commandments.



Anyway - great move by the kids; most of us are tired of the overreach by the atheist religion.

Take care this weekend, and God bless.

You mean the ones that predate Christ? Thanks for agreeing to the earlier point.

The article discussed the seven dimensions of religion and how atheism identifies with 6-7 of these; brief and interesting look at this religion. And of course this point was spot on: "Atheists often claim that their belief is not a religion. This allows them to propagate their beliefs in settings where other religions are banned..."


Of course, shooting the messengers is always easier than introspection.

Well we are all atheists; I just take it one God further.

And sorry, but no. Atheism is not a religion. The definition of religion is: http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/religion
: the belief in a god or in a group of gods": an organized system of beliefs, ceremonies, and rules used to worship a god or a group of gods

Tell me more about how atheism fits that definition.

The article is entirely biased and written by a bunch of delusional morons who believe in a magic flying person who did stuff on Earth with no proof.

I think I'll take the textbook definition of the word "Religion" over some biased shit site.

As long as it's not state-sponsored (i.e. it wasn't a teacher or administrator leading it), people are entitled to express their beliefs.

Even the majority.

and the right to pray is protected at an individual level at such events. An individual at such an event is free to lead other like-minded people in prayer.

These kids are out of control. The next you know, we will hear a story that they have taken things to another level and decided to use the correct restrooms.

it was an effort by the majority to force their religious views on a minority and as such violated the spirit of our First Amendment protection against the establishment of a state religion.

gosh a ruddies, another example of those who in the past were active segregationist who falsely labeled African Americans part of a lesser race and now
claim some folks have a gender "disorder" in order to segregate them.
But they do not have a "disorder." On Saturday, the American Psychiatric Association’s board of trustees approved changes to the latest version of The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-V) that will remove the term “Gender Identity Disorder” (GID) which has historically been used by mental health professionals to diagnose transgender individuals.
