I answered some questions the other day on an information form that asked my sex and age. Using the ridiculous logic of that website, then obviously I am a victim of sex discrimination and age discrimination.
Are atheist now so hyper-sensitive that they take offense at a question that even ask about religious preference? Are atheist really that overcome by the word "religion" that it induces such a reaction? I can hear the word "atheist" and it doesn't bother me at all yet it appears that the words religion and prayer are some kind of psychological kryptonite to atheists.
Talk about an over-reaction

They are holdovers from the 1700s and 1800s like many goofy laws in state constitutions.

And they clearly do not hold value and/or weight in our modern society. Using them as basis for an argument that modern day Christians are bad people trying to force their religion on others is baseless and daft.

Thats pretty funny since people like to use archaiec laws to justify things like owning fully automatic machine guns because 200+ years ago Thomas Jefferson though everyone should be able to own a musket. Don't try and dismiss the fact that those laws that have been KEPT on the books that clearly disciminate against athiests are somehow less lawfull then any other law in this country. That's "daft" and also typical of a conservative that when faced with factual information, starts the symantics tap dance.

It's a stupid argument. Sure some idiot moonbat is going to seize on a law like this to try to get someone thrown out of office or not be elected at some point, but it's clearly not representative of the overwhelming majority of conservatives, regardless of what the dems want to believe.

That's good old Georgia for you.
But seriously though the problem that most people have with todays christians is where a small minority of extremist christians such as pat robertson, michell bachman, herman cain and jerry fallwell (I know he is dead but he was one of the main ones when he was around preaching not only religious intollerance but flat out racism and segregation) who push a hateful conservative christian only all else be damed agenda and the the majority of christians who don't believe that cowardly sit back in silence. They can do that because christians are the majority. However whenever a muslim does something that they are not supposed to do they are quick to brand all muslims as blood thirsty terrorists. If we are going to ever come together as one in this society everyone regardless of race, religion, nationality needs to step up to the plate and call out those who fan the flames of religious intolerance regardless of their race or religion, Otherwise we will continue to digress as a nation.Drug and smoke free trading.

I thought we had already established that though extreme conservatives, these people are not hateful. When has a Muslim done "something they are not supposed to do" and been branded a "blood thirty terrorist" when the label was not fitting?
Also, do you not understand that the Muslim and Christian religions share the same ultimate goal--that everyone be converted to their religion? That doesn't mean that Christians hate Muslims or that Muslims hate Christians or that either side wants to prohibit the other from practicing their religion freely in this country.

When one muslim kills someone the right wingers say that all muslims are blood thirsty terrorists or something very similar. Is that not a correct assesment? Also how is sterotyping a group of people because of the actions of a small minority not hateful? Yes both muslims and christians do want everyone to convert to their respective religion, I will agree with you on that. I disagree with you that there is not a fringe element of people , most are republicans who would be infavor of revoking the first amendment and forcing everyone to convert to christanity. You can deny it all you want but deep down you know that I know what I'm talking about.
