Your thoughts on Satanism and the petition for a Satanic statue.

The only one of those I agree with is making abortion illegal, since it's the killing of an innocent human life. Can't say I've heard any politician in the US say contraception, gay sex, and pre marital sex being illegal though. Are you sure that's what they meant?

A US Supreme Court Justice, Antonin Scalia, has openly suggested that the First Amendment was never intended to protect atheists against discrimination (he called the idea "absurd"), but only to keep one sect of Christianity from overpowering another.

As far as the rest of that, I've already posted links to anti-fornication laws, laws against marital infidelity, and anti-sodomy laws. Many of these old laws, based on Christianity-originated legislation, are being struck down, recently, but the point is that they existed in the first place because of Christian legislators and lobbyists. Since the invention of birth control methods, there have been various attempts to combat that, as well, including recent ones in which GOP candidates try to pander to their religious base, but people seem to enjoy baby-free sex a bit too much for it to take hold for the most part.

Just saw this. 

In the military it would still be "illegal" for my husband to cheat on me because it's "conduct unbecoming of an officer." He'd lose his job and get court marshaled. But I do agree with that, actually. Only because when you're in the military you're representing something that is beyond yourself. I wouldn't say that should be the law of the land though.
