July 4th, 1776.
Surprised you had to ask. The people became unified as the state.
That's not the unified you originally alluded to.
And if that's all you originally meant, then we are unified now.

A fair number of people wanted to stay with the Crown in 1776. NOT unanimous.

It isn't preaching Communism. He is employing a scurrilous tactic known as Red-baiting. He is attempting to discredit atheists by associating them with communists. He is using an intellectually dishonest ploy to divert attention away from what is, in actuality, a constitutional issue. This is because he can't rationally defend his claims on constitutional grounds.

The only way freedom of religion would come into question is if....
A- The government prohibited people from going to Ken's Ark. (Which is what he seems to think we want, even though no one said that.)
B- The government forced everyone to go to Ken's Ark.
Since the government currently has a "go, don't go, we don't give a shit" approach, freedom of religion is not in question.

Declaration of Independence was signed unanimously. In fact, it says "unanimous" on he actual document. This is a replica, as you can barely see it on the original since the whole document has faded a lot.

Do you ever have facts? You seem to speak out of your behind most of the time. Maybe actually bring something to the table if you have something instead of whine about other people. Even many of the atheists today understand the relationship between atheism and communism. I get it though. You don't want to associate it with yourself because it's an ugly history, but we all bear that burden in some form or another. If he wants to push communist ideals, then why assume it's something else? Here is a video by Putin acknowledging your history. Does it mean I think you're a mean ol' atheist? No, not necessarily, but it does show the connection.

Once again.....
The conversation boiled down is...
"The fight for independence from Britain was not unanimous."
"Look, the Declaration of Independence was signed unanimously. So it was unanimous!"
"..... Who the fuck said anything about the Declaration of Independence?...."

So what are you saying? You can't refute it directly? Got it.
It's okay, I understand your position.

Hot damn. Look at all those unanimous native american signatures.
It's easy to get "unanimous" when you pick and choose.
