You're not up-to-speed on Christian Fundamentalism, are you?


From what I've observed, they're more after stemming the tide of liberals attempting to erase any reference to God anywhere in the government and the secular humanists trying to force atheism as the state religion.


First of all, nobody is trying to make atheism a state religion. That's the hyperbolous call to arms of those who wish to make christianity the state religion.

Answer me this: Why should there be a reference to god in government, unless you're want a theocracy? I don't wanna hear the 'this nation was founded on christian blah blah blah". Why do you want a theocracy?

We atheists are simply tired of getting xtianity shoved down our throats.

Churches get special treatment as it is. I say we abolish the tax-free status of the church.
