However cheeky that last part was supposed to be, Frodo, allowing one religious group of people to gather on a public school site and not allowing another secular group to meet is an unAmerican as it gets. As it turns out, it seems believers (which would be many, many school officials in the nation and probably all of them in the county in which I live) are terrified of that word, "atheist," and they should be since their position is completely indefensible. The intellectually honest believers know it, and at least have the guts to say that in the face off all the evidence against their fairy tales, that faith is all they have left.
I'll list "un-American" along with "Internationally Unconstitutional" and no doubt an abuse of Human Rights and Free Speech, whereby people should be allowed to gather to practice or discuss their belief or non-belief freely and without bias from others. I can just imagine what would happen if secularists tried to prevent Christians gathering to meet, as has happened with atheists.
There are many intelligent Christians, no doubt, but an "intellectual Christian", is surely an oxymoron.
