Laws against Atheists

The United States Constitution forbids the use of any 'religious test' for citizens, yet several State Constitutions forbid atheists from holding office, fair trial, or equal protection of the Law.

This guy looks too scary, I'm not watching it despite the topic being good.

That's what I get for recording at night!

We need to organize better, and start suing the hell out of these institutions - both governmental and religious.

It would be good to get these archaic laws off the books.

I don't understand why lawmakers waste so much time with these nonsensical things when our communities face so many real and tangible problems that go unaddressed.

I see you have a troll here. I like your video. You did very well quoting the facts exactly as they are written. It is insane that things are like that here. Isn't the United States the second most religious nation after the middle east? Not much to be proud of huh. Everyone else though knows it isn't worth the time and its no big deal to be an atheist. There is nothing civilized about being over religious, passing laws in regards to it and discriminating againist atheists. Thumbs up for you.

Thanks for the thumbs up!

Sadly many people in this country have been fooled into thinking this is a 'Christian nation' even though its founders explicitly denied that claim.

I agree with all of what you said, but you really must work on the presentation.

Wow, I had no idea that States had laws like that on the books. Don't those laws fly in the face of the U.S. Constitution? I'm baffled....
