If Only The Romans

When last I checked we are in the midst of our own struggle to keep those same xtian fuckwits from turning our country into a mindless theocracy. If you are asking me if I resent the Chinese looking to prevent that sort of a cancer from spreading the answer would be 'no.' Religion is about earthly power....not 'beliefs.'

This is what scares me about atheists running a country. It happens every time. They decide to try to wipe out religion and it leads to mass persecutions and executions. I thought you guys were for freedom of expression. This sounds like Stalin all over again.

Russia was a very religious country and the Orthodox church was basically another competing pillar of power, Stalin did not like competition.
What actually happens in most countries is that the power of the religions wane and things become more secular.
Secular is always to be preferred over religion.
Take a look at the world most religious countries throughout History and see the unbridled horror that they mostly bring.
Christianity being in the top horror exporters.
