I was just stating a fact they took any reference to God out of their platform. You can stand in your driveway all day long and say your a car but that doesn't make you one.

I was just answering your question.
I don't understand your example though. What does it mean??? Who is "You", what is the "Driveway" and what do you mean by "saying your a car"???
Jews, Catholics and evangelical Christians are viewed warmly by the American public. When asked to rate each group on a “feeling thermometer” ranging from 0 to 100 – where 0 reflects the coldest, most negative possible rating and 100 the warmest, most positive rating – all three groups receive an average rating of 60 or higher (63 for Jews, 62 for Catholics and 61 for evangelical Christians). And 44% of the public rates all three groups in the warmest part of the scale (67 or higher).
Buddhists, Hindus and Mormons receive neutral ratings on average, ranging from 48 for Mormons to 53 for Buddhists. The public views atheists and Muslims more coldly; atheists receive an average rating of 41, and Muslims an average rating of 40. Fully 41% of the public rates Muslims in the coldest part of the thermometer (33 or below), and 40% rate atheists in the coldest part.
The simple fact of the matter is, I do not expect to be represented from the standpoint of my interests.

Tell me about it. I've tried "Lord and Master of my Domain", "King of the Castle" and even "Ruler of the House" yet my wife still just laughs at me when I tell her to address me as such!!!

How are your rights as an atheist been violated? Have there been laws passed limited your rights based on this? Civil or criminal action, unjustified, as a result?
I feel that a deeper explanation of your wronging would help us.
