A secular state entails the neutrality of the he public sphere towards religion. If one faith can do it, then it should either be fair game to all non/faith groups or it should be outlawed. Using the public sphere as a domain to gain influence for your specific faith is something that has proven time and time again to cause division and inequality. The only safe way to ensure religious freedom is through a neutral public sphere.
Now, employing what you've just learned, are you able to reassess and combat your supposed 'confusion'?
you still don't get it, It's not an issue that I care about as a christian. As an "atheist", Christmas nativity scene would be the least of my worries..I'd be too busy trying to find the nearest orgy.
Wut?
Ok so you have no clue what you're on about, I get that. But what's the orgy comment got to do with it? Is that a sleight of hand ridiculing you are attempting there? Are you only held back from murdering people because of an invisible bloke in the sky?
Do you have any thoughts on my little description of secularism and why opposing the encroachment of religions into the public sphere is actually a virtue for maintaining a neutral and free society? No worries if not. I know you don't care, that's what makes the difference between someone who has some intellectual integrity (me) and someone who doesn't (probably you).
Seeing as you seem to care very little about society, life, and and your fellow man as a Christian, I struggle to see why I'd care about what you'd think/do if you were an atheist.
