"Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." John 8:32
Point out where Jesus states anyone should be chained to the shackles of dogmatic belief. Atheism is the dogmatic belief you're chained to.

You're not being very correct if God exists so you're still potentially making a blinder of an error there if he does and you're dismissing him out of hand. Sure a lot of people in the world will be wrong about something and we can't be sure exactly who that will be or what they will be wrong about but don't just assume you have the right idea.

Are you sure about that? I'm under the impression that's what most atheists are essentially doing.
Quote:Read what I said again, presented here for your convenience. You answered a point I didn't make while missing the one I did.
I agree that it was founded as a secular nation but I pointed out that Christianity isn't against secularism in the freedom of religion sense. So it's still a very good Christian foundation in the spirit of what Jesus taught.
Come all ye faithful joyful and triumphant.
