You don't know what's going on in this thread, Ronedee, to an extent that I have to wonder if there's something going on with you that's causing this confusion.

Nope.

I'm not anit-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.

"What the Founding Fucking Fathers intended don't mean shit anymore. That was 200+ years ago and things have changed."
"They were also quite big on slavery.
So why the fuck are their 'intentions' still relevant."
"It's fundamentalism for the constitutional crowd (with all of the hypocrisy and ridiculous outcomes you'd expect of fundamentalists and their flawed reading of "scripture")."
I bet you could have responded to those quotes intelligently instead of going on a rant about people wanting to tear up the Constitution.

If you had said the same thing and we eviscerated you for it, it would be for your actual position. We wouldn't accuse you of wanting to get rid of the Constitution and proceed from there.

No. The fact that you think we would illustrates how deeply you misunderstand us. As a general rule, no one is more for freedom of religion than atheists, particularly atheists who are humanists and/or freethinkers. When Constitutional issues come up that particularly concern atheists, that concern is usually that Christians are violating the Constitution yet again.
