How is the US government doing in keeping our religious freedom uncorrupted? An atheist makes some reasonable comments.

  • If the tax form said any thing about god(s), I would do the same thing that I do with the motto "in god we trust" on the paper money and cross it out.

  • And they're probably be some sort of fine for tampering with official IRS forms, heh.

  • hmmm... I wish there was a way that all religius people in the whole world could see and understand this viceo and understand your point and what you are saying.

    Thank you for being you!

  • Yeah it's really tough to get these points across. One day I'll have to try to redo this video in a way that gets more views.

  • To me it's very strange to have something about a religion printed on money. Especially the "we" part is ridiculous. Who is "we"? It's not the 15% atheists in the US, so do these people not count? And to hear a president say "God bless America" is also strange. The USA should change this, money should be secular, presidents should speak neutral. This should be obvious to anyone, but apparently it's not.

  • People think that about writing on the currency but that only applies if it is commercial in nature. I would be willing to take my chances with the IRS about tampering with the form. I don't think that the IRS would be that concerned as long as I paid all the taxes they say I owed.

  • I am surprised you brought this up, however, I can see why.

    I thought about it, and if the pledge said something "One Government without God" it would not be terrible because that would mean that our government is without God, and that seems to be what we think the 1st amendment requests.

    In the video you say that the pledge should give people unity (I agree with that for a few reasons). In the 1950s people turned to their religion and this gave the country unity.

  • MystryBox-- I noticed you sort of used your "index card" approach to making this argument. Well done.

  • Judges are making the laws now, not the people. We just think we live in a republic.

  • How DARE you make such an argument!
