saulgoldie BS: Militant atheism has become a religion (1552* d) RE: BS: Militant atheism has become a religion 26 Mar 13

I don't care what religion or atheism anyone practices, as long as s/he does not force it on me by compelling me to perform certain acts or paying for it through my taxes. If Sikhs want to wear turbans, that is their business. If Muslim women choose to wear burkas, that is their business, and I am not hurt by it.

HOWEVER, if Christians want ten commandments--which ten, by the way?--placed on public ground, then it is an imposition on my freedom from religion. And I DO take offense at that. But militant? Like what, "preventing" them from believing in a diety? Or forcing them--how, by the way?--to say prayers or make pledges that are not their own? Or forcing them to ordain women?
