Atheists complain the Christians are trying to make laws fit with Christian morality, but atheists make laws..

Question

to fit with their agenda.

So aren't atheists being hypocrites for whinning so much that Christians want to pass laws that are fitting with Christian morality and ethics?
.

Answer 1

Exactly.
I would never have the right to go into a Muslim contry and demand that they take any and ALL resemblance of religion out of their schools, so why does the Athiest have the right to do so here.

Answer 2

How do atheists make laws for their agenda? Besides the fact that almost EVERY member of the government is religious? When a Christian makes a law to conform to their ethics, it prevents people who are not Christian from doing something that they don't believe is wrong in the first place. When an atheists makes a law to fit with their morals, it doesn't step on a Christian's rights. For instance, if Christians are against abortions, they can teach the other Christians not to get abortions, instead of forcing those of use who aren't Christian into carrying an unwanted fetus. Or, Christians are against booze, so they pass "blue laws" so you can only buy liquor at certain times, which is incredibly silly, because some of us work late shifts and if we want a bottle of wine we have to rush home from work so we have time to buy it before 2am. Or what if we're entertaining on a Sunday, and it turns out we have no beer, and suddenly we can't buy beer just because it's a "holy" day for some other people. An atheist's morality is based on the principle of not harming others, rather than on a bunch of laws in a thousands of years old book.

Answer 3

Really? What percentage of Congress is atheist? Let's see...

In the last Senate, there were 24 Catholics, 7 Baptists, 11 Methodists, 15 Presbyterians, 10 Episcopalians, 11 Jews, 3 Lutherans, 5 Latter-day Saints, 6 United Church of Christ/Congregationalists, 1 Stone-Campell, 2 Eastern Orthodox/Greek Orthodox, 1 Unitarian, 1 Evangelical, 1 Foursquare Gospel, 1 McLean Bible Church, and 1 "Protestant" (unspecified).

In the last Congress, there were 130 Catholics, 68 Baptists, 11 Methodists, 37 Presbyterians, 32 Episcopalians, 26 Jews, 18 Lutherans, 11 Latter-day Saints, 4 United Church of Christ/Congregationalists, 6 Stone-Campell, 5 Christian Scientists, 2 Eastern Orthodox/Greek Orthodox, 4 Assemblies of God, 2 Unitarians, 2 Christian Reformed, 2 Seventh-day Adventists, 2 African Methodist Episcopal (AME), 1 Evangelical, 1 Quaker, 1 Community of Christ (RLDS), 1 Nazarene, 1 United Brethren in Christ, 1 Community Church, 20 "Protestant" (unspecified), 5 "Christian" (unspecified), and 4 unspecified.

So, out of the 535 people in the last Congress, there are at most 4 atheists.

I'm sure the new Congress has similar stats, plus a Muslim.

That kind of blows away your argument that atheists make the laws.

Answer 4

Atheists have no political power to make laws. Even if we did, It's not "our agenda", those laws are based in the ethics that make society run smoothly. There is no such thing as a religion's morality, morality is a basic principle which most people, regardless of religious background, understand. In case you didn't know, the United States was founded by secularists, many of whom were deists and weren't big fans of organized religion.

Answer 5

the Hebrew Scriptures do be conscious to Christians to have the skill to renowned the God we worship.it isn't any longer all rules too many Christians and so-stated as Christians besides as Atheists do no longer examine the Bible and don't understand what it is approximately. they have a tendency to argue extra approximately misunderstandings of texts our rumors they have heard approximately Scriptures. nonetheless there are some Atheists who've examine the Bible and a few have extra useful awareness of it than maximum Christians that's gloomy remark against Christians who won't even examine the e book given for them to earnings of our Savior and God. yet human beings in uncomplicated terms want to take heed to they gained't bypass to hell in the event that they simply have faith in Jesus no longer that they might desire to be born lower back or something and that they even have faith they are going to spend eternity in heaven nonetheless they dont have a clue what it is approximately, and what it ability to worship God. plenty available that are in for extensive marvel while Jesus says go away I on no account Knew you

Answer 6

Off the subject....but appropriate.

I really don't understand some Christians who have made it their life's mission to "convert" atheists and show them the error of their ways.

I'm an atheist and I don't debate Christians decision to believe and worship however it works for them....and I respect your right to do so.

You'd be a much better person if you volunteered to help someone less fortunate than you are instead of wasting your time "fixing" me.

Answer 7

Can you name some? A lack of law does not make something approved of by the country. Like if abortion is not against the law, it doesn't mean the government supports it, just that they are not making a law against it.

Answer 8

Atheists don't make "atheist laws", they remove Christian ones, so that the law is equally applicable and fair for everyone. Find one law that specifically favors atheists, I'd love to see it.

Answer 9

Atheists are trying to remove anything christian because they claim christianity offend them.They claim removing anything christian is protecting their religious rights.The government removing christian things from the public keeps the government from supporting any religious view.FREEDOM OF RELIGION?

Answer 10

Note: 'atheist' laws are what we call the secular. It's what our country prides itself on. For a comparison, think about the Taliban and how they want a fundamentalist interpretation of the Koran as the basis for societal law. Then you can see the point.

Answer 11

We can all agree that the purpose of law is to stop people from perpetrating violence or fraud against one another. Everything else they do is their own business. If that's the foundation, then we can all get along, right?
