Religion doesn't need evidence

[Soldat Du Christ]

So this is where all the athiest come to have there opinions validated, lol.

Yes of course, it is true in some sense.
Christians have such a false persecution complex in the west. This makes no sense as they are the majority and symbols and references to Christianity is everywhere. You are constantly reminded that this is a Christian country and that its values should be our laws.... cleverly masqueraded as "social conservatism"... an excuse to impose one's convoluted sense of morals based on theology onto others. 

Atheists are indeed inconvenienced in this country and that is a fact. You have to believe in a God to become an elected official in some states (even though this is a blatant violation of the US constitution) . Prayer in schools, prayer in places of work... doesn't bother me but sure as hell weird and unwanted in a public institution run on tax dollars. Atheists are less trusted than rapists and pedophiles... so obviously being open about one's atheist views is detrimental as a whole. Discrimination is common and complaints are dismissed without much investigation. There are more atheists than Jews in America, but do we have a special interest group? Do politicians say anything good about us or at least pretend to represent our interests? No... what does that tell you?

So yes, it is nice for once to have a community where our views can be discussed without being judged by society. Validation of this nature is hard to come by in America, which is taken for granted by Christian folk.

Hmm. While i don't disagree that belief in a "God" is the standard of america, i'd hardly say it's Jesus that people look up too. The biblical Jesus anyway, not the strawman jesus to make people feel like they are good people. And i think you guys have been playing the minority card for too long now, athiesm is more than accepted at least here in north Cal.

Also, evolution is taught in schools, that requires more faith to believe in since we've never observed New DNA information being introduced through genetic mutation or any other method. Should be taught in a private school
