Well it seems that atheist organizations/groups have turned their mission into a sort of anti-religion campaign. When I hear of people doing that, sorry but it reminds me of hate groups. As a minority in this country I am all too familiar with that. People claim they're just exercising their freedom of speech or that they are just being proud of their skin color but that's just the surface. Usually, they exist to combat a group they oppose and not because they really want to make the world a better place.
I mean, members of an auto club is talking about autos and not about the people who don't care very much for autos.
I do agree with you though on Christian groups trying to block other religious groups from observing their faith. There needs to be some respect there.
As far as school goes, I think religions should be taught given that it's the appropriate context. For example, in social studies when you're studying about a group of people. The only problem is will the teacher teaching it be informed enough to instruct it. That would be a better argument as to why religion should not be taught.
When I said everything should be put on the table, I meant that everybody should be well-informed before making decisions. Otherwise, people are believe stereotypes and that just perpetuates the wedge that already exists.
As far as civil liberty, when it comes to abortions I don't think it should be a quick fix though, which I fear some women are using it just as such. We can say it's her body but the abortion doesn't solve her problems. I know of some who had the procedure done and they're just psychologically messed up afterwards. And somehow I think homosexual marriages is more a problem with health insurance companies than it is with religious groups. The Christians are probably the least of the gay people's worries. It's the health insurance companies!
And the hiding goes back to the women having abortions.
