General Discussion
In reply to the discussion: Democrats diss atheists, but still count on our votes [View all]We get:
Atheistic slogans on money, public buildings and government trappings from courthouses to police cruisers
The vast majority, far beyond demographic ratio, of seats in legislatures, executive department leadership positions, and judges at all levels from the national to the local (we'll share a few with our intellectual ancestors the Deists, but only as many as you share with the analogous Jews) so that every single body charged with enacting or adminstering every law in the nation is lockstep, unchallengably atheistic
Constitutions in 7 states banning Christians from holding public office
The words "And may The United States of America continue to be blessed by the complete and utter absence of any gods" as an obligatory coda at the end of nigh every political speech
The phrase "that's mighty atheist of you" used as a universal cliche for decency
Every sports game from pee-wee to national championships with an obligatory standing silence for a recitation of an Ingersoll speech
The right to preach nonstop that only we and the politicians we prefer are decent and good and patriotic, tax-free, from 330,000 atheist meeting spaces, despite laws against politicizing in such expression, because then it will be IOKIYAA and the IRS will look the other way
Swearing in of officials and witnesses on a copy of The God Delusion, with the phrase, "so help me, rationality"
Laws that excuse us of even the most vile of crimes to the most helpless and innocent of victims as long as we say we did it because the absence of gods said we had to
You get:
A little fewer people making fun of you on a scattered tiny minority of websites that happen to have attracted a rational and educated population
Deal?
