>Remember, it's Freedom OF Religion, not Freedom FROM Religion!

Sorry - it is both. It is not up to the government to dictate religious beliefs. The bill of rights that protects atheists is the bill of rights that protects christians.

eroding the freedom of those you don't like erodes your own freedom.

Good post. Those who have gone ballistic over the pledge ruling need to step back and think a minute.

Pledge supporters would never allow a public school to lead children in a voluntary chant that there was no God or that Christianity was evil. That would be indoctrinating children with religious beliefs. On the other hand, they fail to see that "under God" in the pledge is also religious indoctrination.
