Do you know what happened in Spain when they stopped respecting each other?
If the spiritual folks of this nation decided that respect were not important for others beliefs, and they called what beliefs were really stupid, they would come out and say how stupid and morally degenerate, how absolutely dangerous the atheists were being to have around our kids. Schools would be back in the hands of local control we would be back to having prayer in school within the year.
But Americans do have a tradition of respecting the spiritual beliefs of one another. You are in the minority. That is the problem with some atheists, their overt arrogance.
"Spiritual people' of this nation
aren't trying to do that?!?! Really? Shall I show you all of the stories about parents having to sue school districts because school personnel keep attempting to do just that?!?! Please. The reason we don't have prayer in school, and teach creationism in our classrooms, is because we have a
secular guarantee of the separation of church and state, not because we have respectful religious people who don't try to force religion on all our children.
Sure, I'm game.
I thought it was the other way around. I thought it was the godless that were suing school districts that had prayer.
On top of that, the Constitution only guarantees that the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT would have no established religion.
According to the tenth amendment, it is supposed to leave the states alone.
Couple of things. First, however you want to present it, the fact is that the religious zealots who want to turn this nation into a theocracy are constantly trying to impose prayer, and religious indoctrination on our children through public schools, and have to be opposed, so your suggestiong that "spiritual people" are tolerant, and are not trying to institute prayer in our schools is a lie.
As for he 10th Amendment, it was, in no way, designed to prevent the Constitution from extending Constitutional protections to states, or to every citizen in the United States. This would be why no one has ever attempted to use the 10th amendment in that way.
