Tunesmith says: Again, I will state that it is crazy to allow anyone with religious affiliations to hold any political power, because, when push comes shove, God's commands comes first!

Again I will say, you certainly have a distorted view of the reality of religious faith. You seem to be able only to understand things literally, and to have no capacity for abstract thinking, or symbolism, or myth. You're like an atheist mirror of fundamentalist Christians or Muslims.

Quite scary, really.

SRS says, in a far more tolerant manner: Atheists' worldview is open and enquiring, not bound by the paternalistic overlord. Not requiring a deity to live a moral life, and not requiring approval or acceptance from your religious leader in order to build sound secular communities and governments.

Joe Offer hopes that the same can be said for religious people who have a healthy perspective.
