I want their belief in Atheism (faith that there is no god) out of my public schools. Freedom OF religion is not freedom FROM religion.
Agnosticism is the word for those who say "don't know". Atheisms claim to know.

THEY ARE ONLY AFRAID OF CHRISTIANITY. Satans only fear is Christianity. Islam and all other religions are no threat to it. Thus the vehemence towards Christ and anything Christian.

Ali was there, but couldn't give his last name because he wants to return to his Muslim homeland, and is afraid he will be persecuted if they find out he is an atheist....
BUT, while he is here, able to go to the meeting, openly, and talk about it, openly, he BLASTS AMERICA for being intolerant????
WTF?????

Ali, a 36-year-old native Iranian, agreed. He declined to give his last name because he said he wants to return to his Muslim-dominated homeland someday and fears that he could be persecuted should he be identified as an atheist.

I'm an agnostic who hasn't been bothered once--not ONCE--by public prayers or other religious displays. Most people are Christian in the country and the towns/cities where I've lived. They want to express that at games and public events. I stand there in silence, wait out this minor display, and then, hard to believe I know, life continues on as before. I've never been persecuted; I've never been frightened or intimidated by anyone's public religious observations; I don't fall into a funk when I see "God" on public buildings, money, documents, etc.
There are many, many Christians who would LIKE Christianity (their version of it, of course) to become the law of the land. But it hasn't happened, and it ain't gonna happen. The atheists and agnostics seem to think that this is some growing threat that must be addressed immediately. I just wish they felt this way about militant Islam.

Some self-styled Christians agree with these atheists.

Judges rule unconstitutionally that God must be removed from our schools. Judges rule the Pledge must be stricken if it includes "under God". Judges rule homosexual marriage is a constitutional right. Judges rule Abortion is a constitutional right. Judges rule the Ten Commandments must be removed from court houses. Judges rule nativity scenes must be taken down. Judges rule a Cross must be removed from a building.
Secularists attack Christianity by burning the pages of the Bible, coating objects of Christianity in urine, taking His name in vain.
They call Christians kooks, Christianity a fairytale, they compare us to the Taliban and they call Dobson the anti-Christ ironically considering their lack of belief.
They state a movie about our Savior will trigger a response that will result in Christians unleashing jihad against the Jews.
Just who picked this fight?

We don't hate Christians," said David Fitzgerald, 40, an insurance broker and member of San Francisco Atheists. "People in this country are free to believe in whatever they want." Nonetheless, during the Saturday night movie, the crowd booed and hissed when a photo of Pat Robertson was displayed on the screen.
Priceless!

Agnosticism is the word for those who say "don't know". Atheisms claim to know.Between the agnostic and atheist positions, the agnostic position is the most rational.

Careful. A large enough cadre of FReepers consistently boo and hiss at "fundies" like Robertson and others like him.

"Robertson and other Theocrats scare the hell out of us," Fitzgerald said
Hell? No such place, Mr Fitzgerald...right?

"Freedom OF religion is not freedom FROM religion."
Pretty meaningless statement. For some science is a religion, for some sex is. Buddhism is a religion and yet the existence of any diety is superfluous. Are we going to pass legislation requiring that every American be involved in some sort of religion? Should Satanism or Scientology be allowed satisfy that requirement? Look, I am not anti-Christian, but these sorts of meaningless statements hurt the conservative cause.

I work with a very vocal athiest. This guy is a little obnoxious and seems to me to be a good representation of athiests everywhere. It is not enough that he does not believe in God, he will not suffer anyone else to believe in Him either. He and I have nearly called each other out more than once. BTW, he is also a very vocal and obnoxious democrat and those two things go hand in hand more often than not.

Atheism is the root of all Liberalism. People who beleive in a God would not support killing babies and supporting communists.
