You mean people like Thomas Jefferson? Yea, that guy sure was an evil communist, and bad for democracy/America.
Too bad we didn't have the conservative religious right back in those days to oust that traitor and his anti-superstitious, non-bible embracing beliefs.

Mighty peculiar, because Asheville is the most liberal town in the most liberal area of North Carolina. I mean, Asheville is a town where liberals talk liberalism on the street corners, in the art galleries, in the art nouveau cinemas, and in the organic food stores all day long.

C'mon, where'd this story come from? What's the real story? Are you telling me that conservatives are trying to run the atheists out of Asheville?

He actually did embrace the Bible, and he kept many religious texts among the most cherished sets of his entire collection. He warned against "Blind Faith", which is what the current problem with Radical Islam is (When a Mullah tells his followers to kill someone, because they are an Infidel, and the people do it without hesitation). In other words, Jefferson never had a problem with Christianity or Religion in general, but he simply reminded people to practice their Faith with Logic, and Reason (This would have also prevented the Salem Witch Trials of 1692).
