our freedom to have our Christian brothers' and sisters' souls remain uncorrupted by doubt? How many have you condemned to an eternity of torment with your free speech?
What about those of us who want the US to remain a free nation -- to include freedom from sin?

If the fundamental Christians' beliefs are strong enough, surely little logic should not shake them. Many fundamentalists still do not accept the Theory of Evolution. If they can reject evolution (without even having a vague idea of what it is about), in my opinion, they can reject anything.

One of the nice things about the freedom of speech is the fact that it also gives you the freedom to not listen. If you don't want to hear what someone has to say, you have the option to turn away.
If you wish to have the 'freedom to have our Christian brothers' and sisters' souls remain uncorrupted by doubt?', then do what the Menonites and Amish do...live in a cloistered community. If you choose to live among the rest of the US population, you're subject to hearing things you may or may not want to. Apparently, we haven't opened enough minds, since theists are still the majority on this planet.

Yes. This site is a microcosm of the greater community. What I like about it is that you have both sides represented, in all their ignorant uneducated glory. No. It doesn't matter what Romney believes. I don't think religion really draws decisions as much as people think it does. I'm pretty sure that Romney is an atheist, but that's unimportant. If he said it, he would never be elected to anything as a Republican. The Republicans are very bigoted, narrow minded, self destructive idiots. Not all of them, but in general, the lemming mentality applies. Just look at Tennessee, and Arizona and women's rights issues since Santorum started running his mouth.

There really is no "but" here.
Atheists have the right to free speech, and religious people have their right to believe what they choose. Both are protected by the First Amendment.
There is no protection for being "corrupted by doubt" or having "freedom from sin." These are personal concepts. The law does not deal with matters of the heart or the soul.

There is no such right as "freedom to have our Christian brothers' and sisters' souls remain uncorrupted by doubt" so that is why you don't enjoy any such right.
As to the US, it has never been free from sin, nor has any Christian, or anyone else for that matter.
Good luck to you anyway.

I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about ;
freedom for all not just the deluded. Suit yourself you chose your beliefs..., live with them .
Freedom of religion has nothing to do with your beliefs in sin . The government has a justice system that far better and is designed to work for all not just your personal account.
Ever read the constitution ? 1st ammendment ? It not supposed to favor one religion over another and definitely was not intended for Christian theists in particular . Gain an education my friend.

I doubt that atheists spread any single message since they operate from a loosely-knit non-prophet organisation.

PS: Some of us posting here only know about the US of A from movies, or our media, or what you say on the Internet ... so think before you vomit, and we might all work out the real issues from the paranoid or the egotistical.

The free speech of atheists is countered by the free speech of theists. Nobody is proclaiming "God does not exist" from a position of government authority. No go back to your seat.

Condemnation by enlightenment? I think not. Your brethren are free to sin or not as they choose. Our word spreads freedom from sin - a self-imposed disease.
Crawl back under your bridge, troll.

AMEN brother why should good Christians have their faith in the bible questioned by "thinking"? Atheists teaching their evilution and theory of gravity in the classroom- its a sin I tell you! Next you'll be telling me that we're going to stop praying in schools too, and pretty soon they'll take the bible right out of the classroom!
