Dude the point of a timeline is that everyone can understand when the hell your talking about. BC and AD have been around for while....get over it. Don't hate history, embrace it. My words of wisdom for the day.....
@777Luluseven What makes you think I hate history? BCE/CE are replacing BC/AD in many areas of science. I use it because it has no connection to christianity.
Pull the plug on atheism?? That wouldn't be doing the same thing you goofy christians are accusing us of doing? If your religion is so strong, why do you insist on flaunting it in government arenas such as schools and city halls? What's wrong with your damn churches and your own living rooms? We don't shove a lack of belief in your faces, so leave us alone.
Wow how incredibly arrogant of you. Couple of things, you say protect your liberties?When Liberty is the name of a pagan goddess who by being in the harbor of NY, breaking the first 2 commandments! There are many beliefs in god and not all of them are of the xian god. Sadly you disgrace our nation by putting religion in our gov and disrespecting the freedom of religion. There is nothing wrong with a navity on gov. property, h/e you can't just have gov. represent only 1 religion& not the others
well the original actually didn't contain any god in the pledge of elegance and I know this and I am Australian, and actually Atheists only don't want nativity scenes on public property e.g. out side a government building. The handing out of bibles is that they don't want that happening in public schools. Also why would you want to believe the pagan festival of bringing in a sapling to your house to keep the magic of spring for next spring. Think about these things Christians, Just think!!!!!!!
It is clearly beneficial to have faith to be content. To not believe takes an intellectual effort that not all of us have. The majority are unable to cope with the concept of being good for goodness sake. A society without faith will lead to civil unrest among the lower orders, I therefore support Christianity in the same way I support the idea of giving up my last banana to a mean Gorilla that I’m lock in a room with overnight.
Even various religions had to struggle and cope with a changing level of increasing sophistication of their believers. Once it would be pious to burn sad old woman as witches when the harvest was bad. Today even a Christian knows this is due to weather patterns.
Life is like that always changes that question dogma, but one thing many atheists do not realise is that we humans may have evolved had wired to believe in something.
I would as an atheist support any religious group - I believe as our early ancestors evolved into modern humans they evolved the ability to think as sentinel beings in stages, as it is logical to ask questions before answering them, the Gods came into being to fill the gaps and resolve unfathomable questions like where the Sun goes at night etc.
Well, considering how you think praying is the best way to do anything, no wonder someone managed to get the bible out of public schools. At least he actually DID something.
I'd like to see you pray to fix the rest of the issues you have with atheists. That sure will prove effective. ;-P
@CarlosMarti123 Well bully for you, you've doubled the number but you're still underreporting it by five times now. Atheists (those who lack belief, which is not "just another belief"), agnostics (who also lack belief and are also atheists whether they admit it or not), secularists (those who are "not religious," i.e. who are *also* atheists), unbelievers, freethinkers, and any other euphemism you care to use all fall into the category of atheists. Go ahead and split hairs if you must, Sparky.
@CarlosMarti123 Where is your supporting evidence for that 1.6% statistic of yours? It is wrong by a factor of ten, and even you could look up the original polls to discover this; there is this thing called "Google" that you may have heard of...
It is part of your constitution to have separation of church and state - that means NO religion is allowed in government legislature or allowed to be preached by government representatives - Teachers, Judges, Police, etc.
and btw; I am an atheist but I love christmas - fun festival in the middle of winter, nothing religious about it for me - just reconnecting with family and friends.
@CarlosMarti123 It's just another way of describing the meaning of the First Amendment, which says among other things "Government shall make no law respecting the establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof." It was paraphrased from Thomas Jefferson's letter to the Danbury Baptists who were being persecuted by another xian sect at the time, where he told them that there is a "wall of separation" between government and religion.
@CarlosMarti123 If you don't see the equivalence between that wording and the one in the 1st Amendment then you are no longer worth talking to - and you haven't won the point by insisting on exact wording; it's a common and cheap trick used by lying fundies everywhere. You're like a bunch of 3rd graders thinking they've scored points while everyone else looks at you shaking their heads at your brainlessness and lack of class.
...Or, you know, admit that this is a pluralistic, secularized nation, and admit that in comparison to nations that are not secularized (Iraq, for example), we're doing pretty damn well despite all the "negative" atheist influence. God has no place in the American government; things like "Under God" in the anthem or prayer in school are DIRECTLY AGAINST THE CONSTITUTION. Push this crap in eastern europe. Not here.
@CarlosMarti123 Hmm... Howso? Think about it for a minute. By institutionalizing prayer or calling the nation under god by its official slogans, the government is showing favoritism towards one religion. This is against the very first amendment of the constitution.
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof."
I don't see how displaying the plain word "God" would constitute an establishment of a state religion, nor be offensive to anyone but a lunatic. Are you offended by the very word? That doesn't sound like a reasonable person to me.
Pull the plug on Atheism? Right. That's like Homo Eructus saying "Pull the plug on fire". Atheism in inevitable. We are evolving and getting smarter and disposing of ancient fallacies. Religion's days are numbered. Soon our children will look back in disgust and wonder how, with so much potential, we deceived ourselves for so long with a belief in imaginary beings. Religion is an embarrassment to our intellectual development and history. I choose to think, not follow.
@TheThinkingAnimal William of Ockham, Nicolaus Copernicus, John Napier, Francis Bacon, Johannes Kepler, Galileo Galilei, Rene Descartes, Blaise Pascal, Robert Boyle, Gottfried Leibniz, Isaac Newton, Leonhard Euler, Michael Faraday, James Clerk Maxwell, Louis Pasteur, Lord Kelvin, Georg Cantor, Max Planck, Freeman Dyson, Francis Collins, just to name a few, are ALL Christian Thinkers. Your point is?
@TheThinkingAnimal Yes, you said Religion is "an embarrassment to our intellectual development and history," and I showed it's not, even if you sadly excuse yourself with such ridiculous statements.
@CarlosMarti123 No Sir, you did no such thing. You have provided a nice laundry list of people who have made great contributions, but they were flawed. Clearly you would agree that nobody is perfect.
I'm not an atheist because I'm bitter. I'm an atheist because I don't believe in god. Do you understand? I mean I know scripture says that I'm giving my heart to sin and the devil or whatever. But that doesn't mean its true. I live very moral and happy life and I'm atheist. I'm living with my mental handicap aunt helping her around the house. Yet I'm going to hell? and you guys aren't? even though you guys are JUDGING and bashing a group people who don't think like you!??!?!? Pretty weird.
"Atheists are doing all they can to deny us the liberties we have to worship " Translation "people who do not believe as I do are doing things to make me not able to things according to my belief." what? Bigot comment of the century. Not to mention its a flat out lie. Look at how christian these guys are. Thank god for Christ though! you don't have to be held accountable for your actions only Jesus does.
Theres a big difference between praying in public and the constant onslaught that xtian fundamentalists are pushing onto us and our children via secular taxpayer institutions.
Pray all you want, just don't expect me to pay for it.
I have no issue with anyone praying in public. Nor w/a church having a nativity scene/the ten commandments on their front lawn. A child can read their holy book & pray during their free time in school. A group of children can do so as well. I take issue with the federal,state,and city employees leading such events & public lands being used for religious displays. We live in a pluralistic society. US government cannot endorse/censure any religion(1st Admendment) it's to protect your rights too.
Every time I hear someone say "America was founded as a Christian nation", I want to punch them right in the trachea. Obviously, they are convieniently ignoring some of the clauses in the First Ammendment, or any number of quotes from the founding fathers.
"Lighthouses are more useful than churches."- Benjamin Franklin
"Christianity is the biggest scourge ever shone on man."- Thomas Jefferson
"This would be the best of all possible worlds if there were no religion in it." - John Adams
@dksilentbob You're 100%, absolutely correct. How do people that are so jingoistic not know that many of our Founding Fathers were critical of Christianity. Jefferson even created his own bible where he cut all all phrases that he thought were rubbish.
You confuse the desire to not be forced to follow your doctrine with concern about what you do and believe in your own space. There is a difference between hating your religion and not wishing to follow the specific doctrine.
@DeeWox Exactly! Christmas never had anything to do with Jesus! It was a pagan holiday that the Christian church adopted to convert pagans, Jesus's birthday was not even in December! In fact, the bible condemns many Christian traditions such as the decoration of a tree inside your house on Christmas (a pagan tradition from Saturnalia).
@HaveFaithInScience "In fact, the bible condemns many Christian traditions such as the decoration of a tree inside your house on Christmas " Not quite and you're being way to specific even if you can attribute Jeremiah 10 to Christmas trees. That verse does not mention Christmas, inside a house, nor does it condemn the practice. It simply labels it "vain" and it's debateable at best as to whether Christmas trees fall into the category that it is talking about.
@thewayofthemaster While I was referring to that verse, my point still stands. Christmas was never a Christian holiday. It was modeled after the Pagan celebration of Saturnalia and adopted to attract Pagans to Christianity. Jesus's birthday was actually moved to correspond. The act of bringing evergreens into ones house was an act of Pagan "witchcraft" which was believed to preserve the life force of nature during winter. And the bible clearly condemns Pagan practices.
Wait I thought America was a god. It establishes its own laws, authority and values. Facts: Japan 1852 - 1854 Japan trade agreement with Perry. Internment camps for Japanese Americans 1942. Iran contra affair in 1986 and Nicaragua contras. Slavery of African people 1776-1865. Dismantling of the American economy by Ronald Reagan’s administration. Project blue bird 1950's. Installment of the Shah in Iran 1953. Yes truly a nation under God there are more facts but I have a 500 word limit.
I guess the world doesn't revolve around Christians after all. Shocker.
By the way, what if the local mosque started handing out Korans in a public school? You'd fight tooth and nail for their right to spread their message, right?
How selfish of the Christians. This is a perfect example of their narrow-minded viewing of people that aren't like them. Very wrong that they think they rule this country.
Why do these people think that if you want to revert to the original Pledge of Allegience prior to the McCarthyites adding the "under God" phrase, or to disallow official school prayers in government-run schools, or display distinctly Christian religious symbolism on government property, that one is an atheist? Isn't that a little narrow-minded? Most people they describe like that simply have a better understanding of the Constitution, and are not offended - or afraid of - religious pluralism.
"Atheists are doing all they can to deny us the liberties we have to worship God in public. Will we let them?" Really? How so? Seems to me I can't throw a banana without hitting some church sign that tells me to repent or go to hell... You guys forget the establishment clause?
Atheists make LOUSY suicide bombers. God as a concept of being an all good, omnipotent and omniscient being is pathetically self contradictory. Religious people are a bunch of sheep on opium. Reason and action beats faith and prayer. Too bad Christians are inept at logic.
i dont care how many people you have in the government that are christians, i dont care if 99.9% of people in america are christians that doesnt mean its a christian nation, this country was built for everyone not for the christians
@DougCameraMan Im not sure what you are arguing for or if you are even trying to agrue some sort of valid point, but are you really that proud of enslaving the blacks and killing off the native americans to build a mediocre country where some people get some of their rights promised to them
@zubestr you are absolutely right, But it was built on christian beliefs Thats why it was the greatest country in the world. Now since the people think they can run this country without counting on God watch how we slowly drop to the bottom of the totem pole. Now that right there my friend is Biblical.
@zubestr All amino acids in proteins are 'LEFT-handed', while all sugars in DNA and RNA, and in the metabolic pathways, are 'RIGHT-handed'.homochirality
A 50/50 mixture of left- and right-handed forms is called a racemate or racemic mixture!!!!. Which life cant USE!!.there is ZERO chance of RNA forming by chance or on a primordial earth or even under amazing conditions in labs.and ZERO chemistry to support it..all we do is copy information,thats not creating anything!!
@plasticmax9 As it said in the video, it only took one atheist to take prayer and bible reading out of school, and we don't want those 10% to take away from us the liberty to worship and love him, as it says in the video.
@IrinaR7 and the video LIED!!!! You can pray in school... it's nonsense like this that really ticks me off... you can pray all you want in school... you just can't have school led prayer... seriously... do some homework!
Funny that God isn't mentioned in the US Constitution, nor is the Bible quoted anywhere therein. If our rights come from a god, no man can take them away. Except, of course, George W. Bush who took away fourth and fifth amendment rights from prisoners in Gitmo.
Nice one to imply that I am stupid enough to be a Christian.yet, I believe that being a Christian is smarter than being an atheist.I mean, at least they believe that someone created the universe
@PeopleMustAct I didn't not say anything about your low level of intelligence....Rather, I pointed out the hypocracey of your statement "Fuck atheist" When analyzing this statement I saw how you were supporting religion. However, your "holy book" says the following, "Ephesians 4:29 Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers." Quite ironic how you sinned while supporting the religion.
God is the only thing giving value to your currency right now, DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT remove that sign from there unless you want an irrepairable global financial crysis.
Oh, and we hardly need more ways for pastors to touch people, especially children.
The 1963 Supreme Court case they reference does not take any rights away from students. The Court simply decided that public schools cannot force students to partake in religious activities because that would be an unconstitutional government endorsement of religion. Students are free to pray to God and read the bible in school, and they will always have that right because it is protected by the Free Exercise Clause of the First Amendment.
one nation under god in the pledge: against the constitution and not part of the origonal pledge. only reason it hasn't been removed is because christianity holds too much sway over the government, making the government at least slightly unconstitutional
90% believing in god counts for nothing againt constitution
you are still able to worship as you like
protesting mixing of religion and state: as it goes aginst the constitution. the constitution is the highest authority on law in america.
Im atheist and I like xmas. but the exchanging gifts tradition was not part of xmas as pagans and others were doing this in winter time long before the christians adopted this.
"under god" was added to the pledge of allegiance in the 50's. The US was just fine before "under god" was added to the pledge and it'll be fine if its taken out again!
this video is stupid, christians take away our right, not the other way around. they need to stop playing the victim. also, about 85% of us are christians, not 95.
The reason people stand up to religious fundamentalists is because its invading their everyday life when it should not be [first amendment] means that the government cannot endorse any religion or lack of religion, so anything that is paid for through public funding [taxes] means that it must respect the first amendment. Public Schools happen to be under this category, that's why people are asked to leave to pray since NOT EVERYONE is following a deity.
We should all do a little soul searching about our famous motto. In the Bible, it states that “In the beginning, God created Heaven and Earth”. Surely, God did not approve of the oppression of his Native Americans. We cannot be held responsible for the mis-deeds of our Founding Fathers, but we could set the record straight with our motto, by changing it to read: “IN Truth We Trust”

Not so wondrous for an 11 yo named Kara Neumann whose xian parents chose the power of prayer over modern medicine. For 30+ days these xian wack-jobs prayed & all the while Kara became weaker & weaker (on acct of untreated diabetes) until she went blind at which point, still being alive, this terrified little girl wud have been able to hear prayer being recited however she wud have also been too sick to even move.
i love x-mass lmao! and if u wanna read ur book of out dated primitive storys at reses or lunch time go right ahead, but not wen our tax dollars are paying teachers 2 teach.... lmao this was and will be the most biased clip i have ever seen in my life
Atheists: we are making a mistake trying to get "under god" and "in god we trust" taken out of the pledge and off currency. When we try to do something fair, we get accused of attacking religion.
Instead, I think we should be a little more radical. Let's seek to change the currency to read "in no gods we trust" and the pledge to "under no gods." Maybe if we really start acting like jerks, people will realize when we're being rational and fair.
Jeezus loves me, this I know, for He really likes to blow, on a pecker not a puss. He's just one big fucking wuss. Yes, Jeezus loves me! Yes, Jeezus loves me! Yes, Jeezus loves me! For the motherfucker told me so! Pass the plate!!!
@bird661 MILLIONS people have been murdered by atheist governments. That is an inescapable fact. Wurmbrand was tortured for being a Christian. The cruelty of atheism is hard to believe. There is no restraint from the depths of evil that is in man. The Communist torturers often said, "There is no God, no hereafter, no punishment for evil. We can do what we wish." "I thank God, in whom I don't believe, that I have lived to this hour when I can express all the evil in my heart."
@snigglefritz12345 what about all the catholic priest that have sex with kids, or th roughly 2,000,00 people they killed in the crusades or the thousand who died in the witch hunts. Can you guess what Roman catholic said this. " "Hence today I believe that I am acting in accordance with the will of the Almighty Creator: by defending myself against the Jew, I am fighting for the work of the Lord.". Thats right good old God fearing Adolf Hitler.
@wishshewoulddome What about the Catholic priests? Just because someone claims to be a Christian doesn't make them one. And your Hitler quote? Anyone with half a brain cell can see he was not a Christian. Anyone with two brain cells can read the quotes that the maniac made where he wanted to tolerate Christianity until he could destroy it.
Compromise. Grow one entire brain cell before you post again.
@snigglefritz12345 I would suggest re reading my previous post, Hitler was a roman catholic not a Cristian . The point of the post was to show how many awful acts have played out in history in the name of "God". "God" was actually one of the catalysts that lead to the persecution of the Jews. Now I'm curious are you trying to tell me theres a possibility "God" messed up and did not give me a brain? How could he create everything and then forget my brain? do i have nerve cluster instead?
All national institutions of churches, whether Jewish, Christian, or Turkish, appear to me no other than human inventions, set up to terrify and enslave mankind, and monopolize power and profit. "Thomas Paine"
Will Christians ever begin to follow the instructions given by the god of the holy book they love so much? "And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men. I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full. But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you." Matthew 6:5-6
Lastly, America is NOT a Christian nation. A large number of our founding fathers were deists and atheists (including Washington, Jefferson, and Franklin).
I find it ironic that the people who are trying to deny us atheists our own religious freedom are complaining about our defending our own freedoms. Of course we don't want bible in schools just like you don't want Qu'rans in your schools. Just like you don't want to hear one nation under Allah, we don't want to hear one nation under God.
Stop this hypocritical bullshit, we are the ones being attacked. And we are not trying to attack your rights, only defend our own.
No, Daft boy, "humanity" is vicious and vile by nature. How about those enlightened atheists in France killing thousands of people, or Mao, or Stalin, or... No, you have nothing but the moment for your alleged morality. How do you define "betterment"? You'd love to kill me because of your foolish, faulty and dangerously ignorant misunderstanding of God. That would be for the betterment of humanity, since you have no standards. Keep on misusing the Bible to dig your grave deeper.
Ever hear of Confucious? I follow his philosophy of "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you". Also, if you view humanity as sick and vile, then you truly have my pity. You seem to forget the charity humans do to one another. My definition of betterment is simple (not for you, maybe): Improve the lives of others, in any way you can.
P.S: I would never kill you, even if I had the means to do so, and I'm offended that you even proposed such a thing.
Something I find hilarious is the way atheists, who have no moral standard other than what feels good at the moment, judge the Christian-ness of Christians? Based on what? God? The Bible? By doing so, you're tacitly admitting that they are real. You've just been shot with your own gun.
First of all, we (atheists) base our morality of our humanity. I will not commit actions that will harm another human in any way, unless it is for the betterment of our race or the betterment of a population. Also, I base your "Christian-ness" based on the Bronze Age nonsense you refer to as Holy. Im pretty sure it says something about loving thy enemy and not judging those you clearly do not understand.
Atheists, like other leftists, are so full of insanity, they have no idea that they are engaging in projection. Look it up, Skippy, it's a psychological term. I can't count the lies, deceit, misquotes, fabrications and outright stupid statements that atheists have made to me over the years. Agonizing.
" I can't count the lies, deceit, misquotes, fabrications and outright stupid statements that atheists have made to me over the years. Agonizing."
Right... and you say were the projecting ones? This entire channel is proof that it is your said that is the liars, the misquoters, the hoaxers and on and on.
Atheists don't want to take religious freedoms away from anyone. Atheists just want people to keep their religious beliefs out of the government and not attempt to impose their religious values on the rest of us. Religious freedom protects an atheists nonbleief just as much as a theists belief and is just as important to the atheist. You can pray in public and have nativity scenes if you want as long as they are not sponsored by the government. The claims in this video are lies by cowards.
Let's point out some errors, shall we? Arrogant atheists are vindictive, obstreperous and deceitful. They really hate former atheists that become Christians. William Murray, son of bitter, hateful dead atheist Madelyn Murray O'Hair was the tool of her crusade to get prayer removed from schools. Nothing like letting the loud minority take charge, huh, atheists? Guess what? William Murray is a Christian, and his organization is fighting atheists who are removing the rights of Christians.
@snigglefritz12345 LOL your comment cracks me up! Ignorant christians are the ones who are aggressive and deceitful. Like how they misquote Ablert Einstein so that they could say he was religious or how they have to rely on slandering Charles Darwin's good name because they have no evidence for creationism. Atheists aren't trying to take away the rights of anyone, they just simply want the government to treat their beliefs just as fairly as they do with christians.

Ray is a LIAR. I have NEVER met an atheist or heard of and atheist who wants to take away the religious rights of others. Atheists understand that the right not to worship includes the right to worship. Ray is a LIAR.
And if the Christians had the nation they would suppress my right to pray to the Greek Gods so please forgive me for not taking your side Wayofthemaster.
I don't know of any atheist who wants to try and prevent people from having nativity scenes or praying in public. All we want is for our tax dollars to not go toward promoting someone else's religious beliefs at the expense of ours. Do you really think this is unreasonable??
If christians want there right to public warship or prayer they must allow all other religions and belief system to do the same ( atheism). In my opinion the public school is not a place for religion that is what bible schools, Sunday school and church are for. It states very clearly in the constitution that this country was NOT FOUNDED on christian beliefs or values. Also the "under god" and "in god we trust" was an add on to the pledge and money in the late 50's.
Also, we're not stopping you from going to church, that is private property. You can do whatever you want as long as you're not killing people or breaking the law... you guys technically haven't killed anyone yet (small isolated cases, though), but you are breaking the law. :)
@mpar777 When was I picking on people? I am a Georgian, and the water issue wasn't big at all. The funny thing was when it did rain it killed people, and everyone praised god for the rain.

Well, considering how you think praying is the best way to do anything, no wonder someone managed to get the bible out of public schools. At least he actually DID something.
I'd like to see you pray to fix the rest of the issues you have with atheists. That sure will prove effective. ;-P

@CarlosMarti123 Well bully for you, you've doubled the number but you're still underreporting it by five times now. Atheists (those who lack belief, which is not "just another belief"), agnostics (who also lack belief and are also atheists whether they admit it or not), secularists (those who are "not religious," i.e. who are *also* atheists), unbelievers, freethinkers, and any other euphemism you care to use all fall into the category of atheists. Go ahead and split hairs if you must, Sparky.

It is part of your constitution to have separation of church and state - that means NO religion is allowed in government legislature or allowed to be preached by government representatives - Teachers, Judges, Police, etc.

@all4atlantis Can you tell me where the phrase "separation of Church and State" appears in the Constitution?
CarlosMarti123 10 months ago
@CarlosMarti123 It's just another way of describing the meaning of the First Amendment, which says among other things "Government shall make no law respecting the establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof." It was paraphrased from Thomas Jefferson's letter to the Danbury Baptists who were being persecuted by another xian sect at the time, where he told them that there is a "wall of separation" between government and religion.

@DeeWox Exactly! Christmas never had anything to do with Jesus! It was a pagan holiday that the Christian church adopted to convert pagans, Jesus's birthday was not even in December!

HaveFaithInScience 11 months ago
@HaveFaithInScience "In fact, the bible condemns many Christian traditions such as the decoration of a tree inside your house on Christmas " Not quite and you're being way to specific even if you can attribute Jeremiah 10 to Christmas trees. That verse does not mention Christmas, inside a house, nor does it condemn the practice. It simply labels it "vain" and it's debateable at best as to whether Christmas trees fall into the category that it is talking about.
thewayofthemaster 11 months ago
@thewayofthemaster While I was referring to that verse, my point still stands. Christmas was never a Christian holiday. It was modeled after the Pagan celebration of Saturnalia and adopted to attract Pagans to Christianity. Jesus's birthday was actually moved to correspond. The act of bringing evergreens into ones house was an act of Pagan "witchcraft" which was believed to preserve the life force of nature during winter. And the bible clearly condemns Pagan practices.

Isn't that a little narrow-minded? Most people they describe like that simply have a better understanding of the Constitution, and are not offended - or afraid of - religious pluralism.

The 1963 Supreme Court case they reference does not take any rights away from students. The Court simply decided that public schools cannot force students to partake in religious activities because that would be an unconstitutional government endorsement of religion. Students are free to pray to God and read the bible in school, and they will always have that right because it is protected by the Free Exercise Clause of the First Amendment.

The reason people stand up to religious fundamentalists is because its invading their everyday life when it should not be [first amendment] means that the government cannot endorse any religion or lack of religion, so anything that is paid for through public funding [taxes] means that it must respect the first amendment. Public Schools happen to be under this category, that's why people are asked to leave to pray since NOT EVERYONE is following a deity.

Atheists: we are making a mistake trying to get "under god" and "in god we trust" taken out of the pledge and off currency. When we try to do something fair, we get accused of attacking religion.
Instead, I think we should be a little more radical. Let's seek to change the currency to read "in no gods we trust" and the pledge to "under no gods." Maybe if we really start acting like jerks, people will realize when we're being rational and fair.

P.S: I would never kill you, even if I had the means to do so, and I'm offended that you even proposed such a thing.

Something I find hilarious is the way atheists, who have no moral standard other than what feels good at the moment, judge the Christian-ness of Christians? Based on what? God? The Bible? By doing so, you're tacitly admitting that they are real. You've just been shot with your own gun.

First of all, we (atheists) base our morality of our humanity. I will not commit actions that will harm another human in any way, unless it is for the betterment of our race or the betterment of a population. Also, I base your "Christian-ness" based on the Bronze Age nonsense you refer to as Holy. Im pretty sure it says something about loving thy enemy and not judging those you clearly do not understand.

Two things I hate most in life are the pathetically stupid, and liars. You appear to be a combination of both.

Atheists, like other leftists, are so full of insanity, they have no idea that they are engaging in projection. Look it up, Skippy, it's a psychological term. I can't count the lies, deceit, misquotes, fabrications and outright stupid statements that atheists have made to me over the years. Agonizing.

Atheists don't want to take religious freedoms away from anyone. Atheists just want people to keep their religious beliefs out of the government and not attempt to impose their religious values on the rest of us. Religious freedom protects an atheists nonbleief just as much as a theists belief and is just as important to the atheist. You can pray in public and have nativity scenes if you want as long as they are not sponsored by the government. The claims in this video are lies by cowards.

Let's point out some errors, shall we? Arrogant atheists are vindictive, obstreperous and deceitful. They really hate former atheists that become Christians. William Murray, son of bitter, hateful dead atheist Madelyn Murray O'Hair was the tool of her crusade to get prayer removed from schools. Nothing like letting the loud minority take charge, huh, atheists? Guess what? William Murray is a Christian, and his organization is fighting atheists who are removing the rights of Christians.

@snigglefritz12345 LOL your comment cracks me up! Ignorant christians are the ones who are aggressive and deceitful. Like how they misquote Ablert Einstein so that they could say he was religious or how they have to rely on slandering Charles Darwin's good name because they have no evidence for creationism. Atheists aren't trying to take away the rights of anyone, they just simply want the government to treat their beliefs just as fairly as they do with christians.

Ray is a LIAR. I have NEVER met an atheist or heard of and atheist who wants to take away the religious rights of others. Atheists understand that the right not to worship includes the right to worship. Ray is a LIAR.

I don't know of any atheist who wants to try and prevent people from having nativity scenes or praying in public. All we want is for our tax dollars to not go toward promoting someone else's religious beliefs at the expense of ours. Do you really think this is unreasonable??

If christians want there right to public warship or prayer they must allow all other religions and belief system to do the same ( atheism). In my opinion the public school is not a place for religion that is what bible schools, Sunday school and church are for. It states very clearly in the constitution that this country was NOT FOUNDED on christian beliefs or values. Also the "under god" and "in god we trust" was an add on to the pledge and money in the late 50's.

Also, we're not stopping you from going to church, that is private property. You can do whatever you want as long as you're not killing people or breaking the law... you guys technically haven't killed anyone yet (small isolated cases, though), but you are breaking the law. :)

@mpar777 When was I picking on people? I am a Georgian, and the water issue wasn't big at all. The funny thing was when it did rain it killed people, and everyone praised god for the rain.
