Let me get this straight. Are you saying that implying or coming right out and saying what it means to be a proper american is a reasonable -perhaps even important- thing for serious people to be doing? Or, are you simply saying everyone gets to say all the shit they want because of free speech?
And atheists are a "fringe group"? Nice. "Minority group" wouldn't quite convey all that you had in mind then? I agree with the OP that what you believe is your business. What good is free speech if you don't get to be offensive? Bigots gonna be bigots.
