59. Perhaps it is more a separation of "creed and state."
Edited on Mon Dec-20-04 12:29 PM by Ladyhawk
Can you imagine your kids going to school and after the pledge to the flag, making a pledge to the atheist cause? Meanwhile in Congress, your representatives have a humanist minister direct their thoughts about how religion has ruined the world and that it is best if we keep it out of our governmental institutions.

Does this sound like the old Soviet Union where religiosity was banned? Did it work there? Was it a good thing?

NO.

Marrying atheism with the state would be just as bad as marrying religion to the state.

I'm an atheist and I approved this message.
