It is just one zoo which offers an alternative view, and as long as they do not preach race hatred etc then leave them be. I have met plenty of fundamentalist Christians. Have you ever actually talked to any? They are no worse than any other group of people.
Yes I have ... I worked with one for maybe 7 years, under normal circumstances they are ordinary people but they have NO BUSINESS being in our education system, they have NO BUSINESS being funded by the public purse to promote ignorance!

The way The Church has carefully conducted a campaign against atheists and the meaning of atheism so that people are ashamed to admit they are such? So that coming out as an atheist is a difficult and often shaming experience?

Well, because this accusation would not be out of place on the lips of an anti-Zionist. 'Trust me, if we let our guard down for a minute, the Zoo will be impaling gays!'hock:
You're an idiot to ignore the threat they represent ... 7 years ago I predicted they would hit the UK as well, that they were not just a US phenomenon! Now they are in the UK education system and in those of many other European nations ... these people are dangerous! There was a time when many people thought they way these people think, a time before the enlightenment ... it was known as The Dark Ages and there is reason to be wary of such ignorance.
I don't want them banned but I will fight to stop them being publicly funded and will oppose the ignorance and bigotry they spread.
