protestant settlers actually, seeking freedom from the opression of catholicism--and if you were a christian, you would not want to opress anybody else's religious beliefs, but you're not--you are a brainwashed fundy

We don't think it is necessary to remove all signs of Christianity from America. Just from the American government.
Why? Because this is a secular country. How can a person have freedom of religion (*true* freedom) if our laws are being made by Christians who allow their beliefs to influence their decisions for an entire nation.
Because we want women to be able to control their bodies. Because we want gays and lesbians to have the same rights of marriage as heterosexual couples do. Because we want to be able to advance our country through scientific research and perhaps one day cure people by doing research on stem cells. Because we don't want people to die of AIDS because of an illogical belief that pre-marital sex is evil.
Those are just a few of the things that would define our country if out government was put into effect for the benefit of only Christians, based only on Christian beliefs and nothing else. There are people of all cultures and beliefs who call themselves Americans, and we need to respect them all. And yes, that includes Christians, as long as they can respect others.

Dear, You need a history lesson. The United States of America was not founded by Christians. It was founded by a whole polyglot of deists, theists, and some down right atheists. Very few Christians were among or original founding fathers.

Buy property and post whatever you want there. However, tax-funded property is not yours to command. There is no reason to assume that the dominant religion gets the rights to dictate the religious displays the rest of us are forced to support. When Islam becomes the dominant religion, would you want to be forced to support financially the display of Muslim imagery and Koranic statements on public lands?

Hey Maypoedancer
Yeah that's a great idea let's take all the Christian laws off the books. We'll start with Thou shalt not steal and then thou shalt not murder... shall we continue this stupidity? I say no! Let's keep the Christian laws, because we need them.

That is right, religious FREEDOM. That means that you should not be allowed to force your religion on me using the law. Like, gay marriage for example.

The real question would be "Why do most athiests think it is nessessary to remove all signs of Christianity from America, but do not care if all other religions like Buddhims and Hundu surround them?

depending on what you think, there you will locate your answer. we've permit this political correctness,this concern of offending to get way out of hand. How a pair of neighbor taking you to courtroom via fact the form of meat being barbecued grew to become into offensive to him. the certainty that this might pass till now the courts in any respect shows the place we are at as countries and countries (i'm Canadian) We had a Sept 11 memorial the 1st anniversary. The Christian Ministers and monks have been advised they might say God yet no longer Jesus throughout the time of the prayers! I won't say greater, it is going to merely get me all dissatisfied lower back. in spite of your ideals this ought to subject us all. I propose what or whom,would be next? ~A~ ok so i'm asserting greater sorry, those people who say do your analyze have not accomplished theirs. between the excuses the Puritans got here right here grew to become into for religious freedom that did no longer exist lower back domicile for them. whilst my oldest began college (she is 29 now) they nevertheless study scripture at beginning workouts on the same old public college, with in 4 years that grew to become into almost unlawful. whilst i grew to become right into a baby there have been Catholic and Protestant and Hebrew colleges, all that replaced with the recent immigrants. i'm happy they're right here, yet they got here to this united states and can desire to greater healthful into it, soften grow to be one with. no longer substitute to greater healthful them, that's merely undesirable manners. it could be a similar for every physique going to stay in yet another united states. i'm valuable it grew to become into the liberty we had that inspired them to return interior the 1st place. France is a lesson in the place we'd be going if somebody dosen't get clever extremely quickly.

It is said that we as Christians have no right to push anything on anyone else, but by removing signs and symbols aren't you forcing non-belief on us??
