I don't know the organisations you provided, but I do need to point out a correction to your definition of atheists: We do not have beliefs, as atheists, the only thing in common between us is that we lack the believe in god(or gods). However, when religion tries to dip the foot into government, atheists will be there to defend one of the most important achievements of any civilized country: Separation of church and state. How would you feel if you are a hindu, and had to pledge your alliegance to the god of the bible? Was that fair?
Wow, trying to follow the threads in this forum is like herding cats.
I'm guessing from your spelling that you are a Subject of The Crown. Separated by a common language, we are.
If you don't have beliefs, what the phuc do you believe in? There is no mention anywhere in the US Constitution of the separation of church and state. It states simply that Congress shall establish no religion, nor prohibit the free exercise thereof.
And for the record, the Hindu is just as ignorant as the Christian. I don't feel threatened by either one of them as long as they don't try to force their dogma upon me personally.
