Yeah about the same way most religious discussions turn out.

correct and most hostilities are started by religious folks shoving their beliefs down ones thoatWhen a person takes atheism from neutrality towards religon and makes it hostility towards religion, they become part of the equation.
It is similar to the argument over zero really being a number, or not.
most people aren't hostile to religion. they're hostile when people try to impose religion on them
Actually the people that are most hostile to a religion are those who belong to a different religion.
Not those who do not believe in a religion.
can the sequence of DNA evolve without a Basis that is common to all of mankind that makes their mere existence the true religion no one can avoid - whether from God the OuterWorld (yes) or not.
the extinct Dinosaurs no longer have religion - Polar Bears have their own sequence from one generation to another ever evolving for the duration of their species.
the OuterWorld of the Everlasting is the Source for the Engineering of DNA.
I pray to God that that ruling is true! Do you have a link?2. Atheism is itself a religion. While atheist will argue that they don't believe in any god, the issue is not merely non-belief in God or gods but in having ANY sort of belief system. The belief system of atheism is centered around the philosophy of "secular-humanism."
3. Atheism is a religion according to a 2005 Wisconsin federal court ruling as well as the U.S. Supreme Courtthe highest court in the land.
Then we Atheists can get the same special tax privileges believers get!!!
I never thought of it like that. PRAISE BE TO NO GOD!!!!!!
i dont want mangers taken out of town squares i just want my flying spagetti monster statue sitting by the side of it ...are you happy with that ?That to me is more agnosticsim. Most of the people you see in the news called atheists are hostile to any religous expression in public, and 100% so if it takes place on public ground.
Think the whole cross thing in San Diego, or the usual "You cant put a manger in the town square" dust-ups.
Most Atheists just shrug off religion and go about their lives
Again, to me more agnosticism. If most just shrug religon off, then your viewpoint is poorly represented by those who speak in your name, and piss people off by trying to get mangers taken out of town squares.
which is always the casePlease give us the links to the courts that ruled that. Thanks., then pro-secularist courts speak out of the other side of their faces and say that Secular Humanism is NOT a religion "for establishment clause purposes." This is slimy deceitful legalism at its worst.
I am not aware of this happening, do you have links. Here's what I suspect though, any such claim will be teachers teaching something that is also to be found in Secular Humanist teachings even if the teach is not a secular humanist and the teaching wasn't part of some over secular humanist program. But that's like claiming that if a teacher says that murder and stealing and lying are wrong and you should respect your parents that they're teaching religion...which is ridiculous.Secular Humanists are allowed to teach the tenets of the religion of Secular Humanism from the blackboard during class.
Actually I've always found the hypocrisy to be those who say there is no separation of church and state and that teachers should be free to lead prayer.....except when it's a prayer or religion they disagree with.As you can see, the above is a classic example of hypocrisy.

Does the flying spaghetti monster have a holiday in December?
Also, people put up mangers as a sign of fate. You want the flying spaghetti monster up there as a sign of spite.
Its the spite shown by these lawsuits that piss alot of a people off.

Well, the flying spaghetti monster examples are facetious. But the points raised are serious. There are other religions. Should tax money be spent promoting (or celebrating) one over all the others?
Personally, I think griping about a small display put up by local government is petty, but there is a point where the line ought to be drawn - certainly somewhere between a creche and "National Christian Prayer Hour". At what point would you limit government promotion of religion?
As for the "National Christian Prayer hour" you cant make it compulsory, or spend any government money on it, but you shouldnt be able to prevent a government offical from declaring it.

a govt employee declaring it would be the definition of violation of church state

Not according to the federal court so far,

You're talking about National Day of Prayer, not "National CHRISTIAN Prayer. There is enough of a difference to be important.

You were so close to a rational discussion, then you went back off your meds.
For future reference, QID means "four times per day." Try to stick to it.
