What is it about America? Does America's education system just suck?

[Doubting Thomas]

The majority of the "christians" here are not really all that religious. It's just a label they like to give themselves. They don't know anything about their religion and only go to church on easter. But boy do they think they know everything and are quick to tell your heathen ass you're going to hell!

I've noticed this, too. There are so many people who call themselves Christians and have a vague belief in God, but don't know jack squat about what Christianity is about, nor have they ever read the bible, nor ever go to church. But tell them that you're an atheist and they're all over you about how evil and immoral you are. For some reason the passively religious get really bent out of shape over anyone they see as "attacking" their religion, and atheists do this by simply existing.

Problem is that most of these people also buy into the "Christian nation" bullshit often claimed by the conservative right. They reason that, well, since God's name is on our money, we must be a Christian country.

I think sometimes the not-so-religious Christians are almost more frustrating than the in-your-face right wing bible bangers. Mainly since you know if they ever put any thought into it, they wouldn't be Christians.
