atheism to be illegal in the E. U.

[nintendo048]

mabey so but secular may be interpreted as an agressive form of speech towards religion.

I doubt it. There's no evidence to support that. Like I said before, secularism is about the separation of church and state; it's not about atheism. The Executive Director of Americans United for Separation of Church and State is an ordained minister in the United Church of Christ.

Also here in the us most people see the founding fathers as religious people not deists or atheists. So it could happen

That's because most of them were:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Founding_F...s#Religion

Of the 55 delegates to the 1787 Constitutional Convention, 49 were Protestants, and two were Roman Catholics (D. Carroll, and Fitzsimons). Among the Protestant delegates to the Constitutional Convention, 28 were Church of England (or Episcopalian, after the American Revolutionary War was won), eight were Presbyterians, seven were Congregationalists, two were Lutherans, two were Dutch Reformed, and two were Methodists.

the founders of america had a dream of free and equal people unopressed by religion and that vision has been obliterated

There are countries in the world where you can be killed for being an atheist, or a Christian. That is not the case in the US, so I call bullshit on the whole "obliterated" language.

perhaps perhaps not but what you can do is punish public expressions of secularism and ban atheistic liturature

Which makes no sense given the actual content of the law. Nothing in the law states that atheist books can be banned. All it says is that ridiculing religious groups could be banned. Whilst I agree that that kind of censorship is bad, it isn't the same as a complete ban of atheist materials, nor is it the same as making atheism illegal.

nobody is suggesting that people will be put to death as in saudi arabia but the status quo in america is in favor of religion is it not
