I'm agnostic, but I don't mind. Someday, we non-believers are going to
get together so we can emulate you christians and kill christians,

different from ours. Oh, wait...we don't have a religion.

Of course you do. Atheism has become as strong a force in your life as
any other person's religious beliefs and you force your dogma on
everyone around you by simply being offended and using the power of
government to quell things you find offensive. It is a unique form of
offense too because other offensive things don't seem to bother you at
all.

Atheism is not a force at all. I don't give a **** what the religious do
in their churches or homes, so long as no one gets hurt. When the
religious try to push their superstitions on society or the government,
then that is where they exceed what they should be allowed to do.

You push your atheism on everyone, more aggressively than the worst
evangelist.
Just the fact that you denigrate people's deeply held beliefs
incessantly, demonstrates you are not a live and let live person. This
is a crusade with you and you are trying to rid the world of religion.
That IS a religion in and of itself or certainly a belief system.

That's absurd. All I want for religion is for it to stay out of my
government and stop trying to impose itself on society.

I feel the same way about a half dozen militant groups who ram their
message down our throats but you think that is their 1st amendment
right even when it does happen on public property.
All the 1st amendment says about religion is "Congress shall make no
law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free
exercise thereof". If my city council allows a privately funded
display in front of city hall. "congress" was not involved at all,
There was no "law" and if anything, denying it is "prohibiting the
free exercise of".
Nobody even considered this until militant atheists with the help of
the Warren court, twisted those words.

Is the message of those "militant groups" religious? No? Then it is
protected speech, even on public property.

Do you suppose the religiously backwards state of Alabama forced Judge
Roy Moore to twice remove those "statues" of the 10 commandments because:

1. Roy was a devout conservative christian,

2. Roy was an accused rapist, child molester, and sexual predator,

3. Such a display violated the 1st Amendment.

How does a hunk of stone or bronze violate the first amendment?
