Answer 1

Thats a very good question.

Answer 2

There are basically 2 kinds of rights: organic (unalienable) or Civil Rights. needless to say, atheists have faith all rights are civil rights. in spite of the indisputable fact that, the Founders did no longer care, nor does the form comprehend or communicate, no count if or no longer the electorate believed no count if the bill of Rights have been all organic, all civil, or a mixture of the two. in reality, the form would not state that the rights are the two. even although the Founder's believed in organic rights, how somebody interprets the place the rights got here from is thoroughly beside the point to no count if or no longer they are granted them or no longer. All electorate are granted the rights of the form inspite of what they think of of them.

Answer 3

The rights of all Americans are protected under the Constitution, though over time, it hasn't been interpreted as such.

For example, the Constitution had to be ammended to make slavery illegal, and to give women the right to vote.

Freedom of religion is generally interpretted to also mean freedom FROM religion.

Answer 4

Yes. They are protected. And, fyi, a libertarian is a political ideology, like being a conservative or a liberal, not a religious belief (or lack thereof.). Libertarians are people who believe that the government should have no influence on the economy, or on social reform.

Answer 5

I don't think the rights of atheists are protected by our politicians or our current government very well. But the constitution clearly protects them.

"We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."

If they weren't supposed to be protected it would say ".....and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves, unless we happen to be atheist....and our posterity...."

Answer 6

In the constitution, religion is protected from governmental interference, under the equal protection clause we are all protected,but we are not protected from being offended.
You know, freedom of speech as long as it is not threatening harm(not mental harm).

Answer 7

Yes, they are but those rights can still be infringed upon the same way militant atheists are infringing on the rights of Christians.

Answer 8

What rights in particular? In that they are human beings, I'm inclined to say yes. Whose rights are not protected under our constitution?

Answer 9

Yes, separation of church and state is to protect us from a state religion.

Answer 10

Everyone’s rights are protected, regardless of what religion you subscribe to (or choose not to subscribe to).

Answer 11

Yes, as they should be, religion has no place in government.
