Since when is agnosticism and atheism embraced? Seems to me those of us who are openly catch a lot of flak because of it, never mind that we're having it stuffed down our throats by a government that claims to know better but continues to embarrass us with its mindless and harmful actions overseas?

Or were you referring to those who acknowledge their disbelief and those who proclaim to believe but fudge the details (such as said government)? In which case I know a lot of agnostics and atheists who act in a decidedly more "Christian" manner than a lot of horn-tooting Christians.

And, by the way, you don't know. You believe, but you don't know.
