Religious insitutions and people whose only purpose is to rant about this and that have the same right to say as they wish as I do.
If I am to have the right to say that religion is the worst thing to ever happen to humankind bar smallpox. Hate to say it, but organizations like the Westboro Church have the right to spew their hatred all day long as long as they don't cross the line into violence.
My point was that we have positive forces working towards the adherence to our founding documents, and I don't think the fact that the ACLU protects all free speech is a detriment to my intention.
My conclusion is that there is no reason to believe any of the dogmas of traditional theology and, further, that there is no reason to wish that they were true.
