We need a freedom for religion....I am so tired of having to comform to what minorties want. We all know that there are far more CHRISTIANS in the US, than athiest....Why do we sit by and allow them to shove their non beliefs down our throats. It has always been a Majority rule in this country....and we CHRISTIANS are the majority. We are going to have to take a stand against such groups.

Shoving their own beliefs down everyone else's throats at club/polearm/sword/musket/M1A2 point, and they wonder why people would refuse...
...In case you didn't notice, sweety, we're in the U.S. As far as religious freedom goes, you can't do much better than this. Why don't we ship you off to Iran and see how you fare?
I don't get it. Atheists stand up for freedom from religion, Christians get upset, demanding we follow their belief set, and we're shoving our non-belief down their throats? Piss off.
What's with all this support for tyranny of the majority?
Prohibiting forced prayer in schools is in favor of religious freedom. What if they pray in a Catholic fashion when you are protestant, muslim, hindu or buddhist? Would you agree? Then imagine what happens if you were one of the last few and were forced to pray in a way that doesn't fit with your religion at all.
When will this democracy cease and peope start embracing totalitarianism?
There is INDEED a problem. If we take your denomination and level of practice alone, YOU´RE THE MINORITY. And let me remind you that a democracy consists in the fact that your freedom of religion neither means that you have right to impose your religion nor to ignore as well that your freedom ends where the same freedom of others begin.
Ahh, but which particular brand of the hundreds of different christian denominations are the True majority? Straighten that out, and then get back to us. Maybe you can pray on it or discuss it in church; despite what you may have heard, ain't no one stopping you from that.
We're taking away your freedom to take away our freedom? Well what about our freedom to take away your freedom to take away our freedom? How about that, wondermom? You're oppressing us!their festival, which included a Wiccan-type ceremony, in the same backpacks. All of a sudden, we saw the local Baptist pastor backpedaling on the idea. He even warned against re-introducing school prayer because he said if this happened then there was no assurance that it would be a Christian leading the prayer. Rather gives away the real "school prayer" agenda, doesn't it?
Just a few thoughts
An extremly worrisome french version of what pretty much amounts to this letter was in the paper this morning (in quebec city).
I was an evangelical Protestant before my deconversion, and among themselves, evangelicals were fond of stating that only a tiny minority of Americans (let alone people anywhere else in the developed world) were genuinely saved and that the majority were nominal Christians. But that was last week's eternal verity, and it doesn't fit the current agenda.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
