Weather they are busy in the middle of some desert covering a 10 foot cross dedicated to a fallen Christian soldier, disassembling a manager scene in a city park or demanding that Muslim terrorist prisoners get a fresh mat and copy of the Koran, The godless among us stay busy at their works.
They never have a problem with the Muslims (they re scary) or the Kwanza celebrations (they re black), they do get busy attacking the Judea-Christian majorities (a peaceful non threatening crowd).
Make a cartoon of Mohammad and people will die, mock Christ or the old testament leaders weekly on South Park, Family Guy and every other Hollywood comedy, cool.
Most god-free Americans consider themselves rather intellectual and artsy, although they do seem to prefer radical revolution books over say works of math and abstracts over French realism. Point being, they want a god-free American politic, they want everything a shade of gray. Black and white, right and wrong are bigotry of the worst order. If you kinda believe in what you religion says, you re OK, swell. If you really believe in the Grace and sacrifice of Christ as the only way to relationship with God you re a bigot. In their minds if we would all just agree not to believe in anything, or agree to believe in everything, there would be peace. ‘Imagine there s no Heaven, it isn t hard to do, no hell below us, no religion too, imagine all the people living for today a-a, you may say I m a dreamer, but I m not the only one, someday you will join us and the world will live as one’, like Cuba or South Africa.
‘The ONE thing they will not tolerate is INTOLERANCE!’. Phil Donahue (1978) Nuff said.
God Help Us, I mean it.

It’s just another way to marginalize people and put them in a corner. The attacks on the “religious right” are, at best, an attempt to silence a portion of the population. A politically powerful, and organized section of the public I might add. What does that really tell you about the opinion of the government and it’s advocates? There is a “religious left” that NEVER gets mentioned in the light that a Christian does.
I think many times those on the far religious right equate anyone who does not believe what they believe as “godless” and that is the problem. And whose god? A devout Muslim is just as much a “non-godless” person as is a devout Jew or a Christian. Since it is impossible to give every religion the same amount or degree of airtime, the only fair thing to do is to give none airtime.
Just because I believe in secularism does not make me godless. Far from it- I so respect the relationship that each individual has with the god of their choice that I will not stand betwen it. I recognize it as so personal that the state has no right to affect it in any way, as long as the practice of religion follows the secular rule of law (IE I am not defending human sacrifice, kidnapping, etc). The freedom of religion does not only protect the right of the “godless” to be godless, it also protects the freedoms of those Christian cults who are so devout intheir belief in Christ that they separate themselves from the rest of society.
You act as though the fact that the Chritian God not being mentioned is simply an oversight, but that we all understand that the Founding Fathers “forgot” to mention it or that it was assumed on their part that this was a Christian state. Read your history- religious freedom had its legal roots in this country as far back as 100 years before the Constitution, so it was no oversight. The Jews were here, and their religious freedom recognized, before 1700. So this was not a homogenized nation of all Christians at that time.
You may not like it, but the freedom of religion is here to stay. You are free to view faith however you choose with no intervention from the state- that is your right. But it is the right of others to do exactly the same. Leave your faith in the realm in which it belongs- your personal life and the people you wish to surround yourselves with- and leave it out of the civic and governmental realms. America is a melting pot in more ways than one; best to deal with that fact and move on.
And you must no watch South Park very much- they make fun of EVERYONE. And don’t try to make the stereotype that only the non-Christians are violent- it’s not Muslims who bombed abortion clinics, a Jew did not kill Dr. Tillman, a Hindu didn’t kill an abortion doctor, set off a bomb in Atlanta during the Olympics, and then go hide in the hills of SC. Their’s a lunatic fringe in every group of people. Go to any country in the Middle East , Asia, and Africa and walk among the average people. They aren’t any more violent than the “average Christian” here in the US.
