Conservatives believe that if your religion tells you that you should discriminate against minorities,
that not only makes it right, it makes it constitutional.
Yes, the U.S. Constitution guarantees First Amendment protections for Muslims, atheists and all religious groups.
Let’s get the facts straight.
Nearly a quarter of Americans ― 22 percent ― either don’t know or don’t believe that U.S. Muslims are granted the same constitutional protections as other citizens. Roughly 20 percent don’t know or don’t think that atheists are protected under the First Amendment.
These are among the findings of a new study by the University of Pennsylvania’s Annenberg Public Policy Center, released ahead of the Sept. 17 Constitution Day, which celebrates the anniversary of the U.S. Constitution’s signing in 1787.
The survey asked respondents whether they thought it was accurate to say that U.S. citizens who are Muslims have the same rights as all other citizens. Seventy-six percent of those surveyed said it was very accurate or somewhat accurate, while 18 percent said it was very or somewhat inaccurate. Four percent said they didn’t know.
On the same question about U.S. atheists, 79 percent said it was very accurate or somewhat accurate, and 15 percent said it was very or somewhat inaccurate. Five percent said they didn’t know.
The annual Annenberg Constitution Day Civics Survey polled 1,013 U.S. adults about the government, the First Amendment and constitutional protections. This year marked the first time the survey included the questions about Muslims and atheists. The survey didn’t ask respondents about their knowledge of protections granted to Christians or other religious groups.
But it isn’t just the constitutional rights of Muslims and atheists that Americans are unclear on. Many Americans are highly misinformed about basic constitutional provisions, including what the First Amendment protects and even how the U.S. government is organized.
Fifty-three percent of Americans incorrectly think that undocumented immigrants aren’t afforded rights under the U.S. Constitution. In fact, the Supreme Court ruled on that issue in the 1886 decision, Yick Wo v. Hopkins, declaring that noncitizens were included in the 14th Amendment’s equal protection clause.
Just 26 percent of Americans can name all three branches of government ― down considerably from 38 percent in 2011, when APPC first included this question on the survey.
Thirty-seven percent of respondents were unable to name any of the rights guaranteed under the First Amendment. Just under half of those surveyed named freedom of speech as a right guaranteed by the First Amendment.
But far fewer could name the other First Amendment rights. Fifteen percent of respondents named freedom of religion; 14 percent identified freedom of the press; 10 percent named the right of assembly; and just three percent said the right to petition the government.
The First Amendment states:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

I agree! However, even many who may think that Muslims or Atheists actually do have First Amendment rights - they would like to deny them those rights.
Given the limited religious beliefs of many of the Founding Fathers, the First Amendment was written for the benefit of atheists and non-Christians. The Founding Fathers understood very well, the oppressive nature of the Christian religion, which makes the First Amendment's protections more important today than when the Constitution was first written.

Atheists are, indeed generally better people. Religious folks feel free to be a$$h*les in the belief their "god" will grant them forgiveness, which they use to justify, in their own minds, being a$$h*les.

Liberals protect Atheists' and Muslims' Rights while constantly attacking Christians and the Christian faith...perhaps the OP should consider that more...
Contards of course try to deflect from the discussion of the First Amendment to 'but but...but...but what about the poor Christians!"

"A good educator will welcome a challenge and debate on a topic...a bad one will say "I am correct, accept it"."
Pot calling the kettle black.
The Democrat Bigots do not accept that Christians have 1st Amendment Freedom of Religion rights.
Left Wingers want to force Christians to be participants in same gender marriages by forcing them to bake them wedding cakes and to force them to take pictures of same gender weddings.
I just got a copy of the super-duper secret gay agenda, just wait til you see what your paranoid ass is going to be forced to do next. Bottoms up!
HappyJoy, hey thanks for another reminder that millions of Christian Voters are not welcomed in the Democratic Party, but most people are already well aware of this.

It is difficult to figure out if the atheists or the Muslims are the biggest assholes.
Probably the Muslims because they go around killing people. Atheists just try to curtail the First Amendment right of freedom of religion.

Conservatives believe that if your religion tells you that you should discriminate against minorities,
that not only makes it right, it makes it constitutional.
Actually strict constructional federalists believe that you have to show a compelling government interest to override someones 1st amendment right to free exercise, and then the remedy has to be the least intrusive possible.
But you guys are "all or nothing" and have not been able to compromise in decades, so we get the SC to decide the issue.

Contards of course try to deflect from the discussion of the First Amendment to 'but but...but...but what about the poor Christians!"
The only people who are actually supporters of freedom and liberty are those who support other people's right to do and say things they would never do or say themselves.
Everyone else is a bunch of hypocrites, authoritarians, or both.

easyt65 has of course the right to speech free from government interference- and I support his right to say any of the stupid things he regularly says.
As I enjoy my right to point out his idiocy.
They do not believe in tolerance or the right of everyone having their own voice / opinion. There must be ONE voice, ONE opinion - THEIRS.The problem is that progressives don't stop at pointing out stuff, they try to squash it via violence or intimidation.
