NOTICE: I do not pray!

133. I don't have to protect it. Its a valid argument and one you are completely unable to rebuttal...

...with any measure of honesty.

However, its clear that you don't even understand my argument. Theres actually 2 parts to it. I'm not arguing in favor of majority rule. I'm simply pointing out that most of the people in this country are religious, so first and foremost, people shouldn't feel all whiny and ass-sore whenever there is a public expression of it, especially when its done with absolutely no malicious intent whatsoever, as was the case with the inauguration ceremony. Religion is part of our culture. I am an atheist but I accept this fact. I pick battles that MATTER. And a few harmless prayers and shout outs to the invisible sky fairy do not hurt me or anyone else, so theres nothing worth having a battle over in that regard.

Secondly, its a RIGHT for people to be able to peacefully and publically express their religion. And that's why you need to get over it. Its a freedom that we all have and one we should continue to have. People here who are trying to shut down notions of religious freedom are anti-progressive.
