Using the First Amendment can you please explain to me why a 10 year old 5th grader was told she would NOT be allowed to say Grace at lunch and that prayer was NOT GOOD three times before she gave up but we have a group of Muslims are being allowed to go forward with a multi-million dollar lawsuit because they weren't allowed to spread their prayer rugs while at the top of the Empire State Building?

...Anyone else caught that I probably shouldn't have gotten on this thread?? Religious discussions get me po-ed especially when someone perverts my belief in to something it is not and hides behind the description like the guy above. Sorry if I upset anyone... This thread is surprising actually that it was even allowed. "Are aetheists satanists?" That's a seriously stupid question. Again sorry if I offended anyone....
Honestly here's the answer, aetheists-true aetheists do not care what you believe.
They do not worship satan.
They celebrate Christmas, Easter and any other recognized holidays.
They do not push their views on their kids, they let them decide for themselves, and encourage them to go to church if that is what they wish, and explain bible stories.(if they know them)
We just choose not to go to an organized religious gathering every Saturday or Sunday and sometimes even hold our own belief instead of just going with the crowd.
We are usually the ones doing yard work when you are at church on Sundays, and hold no ill will toward anyone that does, and if we do -it is only an excuse that we are aetheist to start # with others because we are A-holes without a job and too much time on our hands except for me....end rant!!

You're acting as a jihadist-aetheist would, meaning you are really not aetheist, and you do not personally set the standard for all of us.
So in your spewing about something you claim to be a part of but aren't

Why do you say that I claim to be an atheist? Nowhere do I claim to be an atheist.
You see, this is why its so difficult to talk to atheists online. There is just so much emotionality and so little reality or factuality in their posting. Rage trumps reason.

You seem to be missing one simple fact - Atheists don't believe in any supernatural entities, whether they be good or evil. They're not Satanists, they don't believe in either Satan or your big daddy in the sky.
As for removing god from "your" schools - I do believe everybodies tax money pays for public schools, regardless of religion. Your schools are also my schools.

Atheists are legally removing god from our schools, public displays and courthouse buildings. Supposely they don't believe in higher being yet they seemed threatened by the word God. Atheist must believe in something, money, power, food? I would say love but that might be related to God, might be confusing just like the word God. This country was founded with God, it's all over our country's most important documents. Why is this minority trying to take away what made this, the greatest country? How many children with Atheist parents find faith in God? Is it terrible to have the word God in a powerful speech in the morning to remind everyone we live in a great and free country?
I love to go to baseball, hockey or football games and be humbled by our red, white and blue as everyone repeats under God.
Atheist continue to push that they believe in nothing but are fighting to remove God from our schools, buildings and children.
That is why I believe Atheist are actually Satanists, for a group who have no beliefs they are spending big money to remove God.
God is Satans greatest enemy as the Atheists.
The U.S. will always be under God, it's just American!
Anything else is just communism.
I served in the military and I would die for my country and its founding fathers beliefs.
Amen

This is not an example, only opinion-yours. How dare you compare me to Stalin and lil Kim. You're acting as a jihadist-aetheist would, meaning you are really not aetheist, and you do not personally set the standard for all of us. (I know guys, breath)

The overwhelming Majority of Americans believe in God. As a result, the small minority of Atheists do not get to dictate either their beliefs or their preferences onto the rest of American society. Simple as that.

Believing or praising any certain God isn't what our founding fathers intended, as there is no law on what religion an American has to be. We're free to believe or not believe in whatever we choose.

This is what get's me about some of the religious. They can't comprehend for one second that atheists such as myself genuinely do not believe in their god, they think we have some hidden agenda. Well I for one can say with certainty that there is no god, there is no satan, no heaven and no hell. The level of indoctrination some of these people have been exposed to is stronger than any CIA brainwashing techniques.

You can say only for your own personal viewpoint only. There is a universe of evidence of Almighty God, yet there is Zero evidence of a "No God" theory. Lets be Real.
