Atheism is part of a society that actually impacts people's lives—so just like you, as an atheist (for example), don't want believers sticking their noses in your private business, I—as a believer (even though I'm not in America)—don't want atheists trying to dictate how I live my life. Peace out. You can't hide behind democracy or "threatened rights" to basically crush people's religious consciousness or their need for faith. If you don't want your kid (say) to take religion class—which, personally, I think should be a choice for every parent—then it’s totally pretentious to try and force that view on everyone else. If someone tries to push something similar on you, that's a whole different story, but you aren't gonna be any better off using the exact same tactics as the people you're complaining about. Get what I'm saying? Not one single atheist has ever managed to convince me that I'm wrong, and since I live in a state that isn't exactly thrilled with Protestantism (given that I am one myself), I'm well aware that personal choices—even if they go against faith or religious studies or whatever—can't and shouldn't be forced on anyone, nor should anyone face consequences for them. You feel me?
I'm with you on this. Honestly, it's pretty ridiculous that after everything you just wrote, you're still pushing for some atheist moderator to open up a Christian sub-forum here?!
