Big can of worms here. I tend to only bitch about the government. I think that Evolution is still a theory but anyone who doesn't subsribe to that theory is considered an ignorant hick. That to me is anti-religious bigotry.

I'm a non-believer just for the simple reason that you can't prove most of the things that religions state. The same goes with science. They take all of the information and make an educated guess? That's what theory is. I do believe that people who say there was no Jesus or is no God are not only bigoted but arrogant. How do you they know? Were they there?

This country was founded on Christianity, classic liberal thought, and by a lot of people who didn't give a damn and just wanted to make some money. To totally scrap those concepts is stupid because you have to replace them with something. It seems to me that it has been replaced with secular, anti-Christian, socialistic, modern day liberalism to a degree. I tend to take the how do you know approach to both sides. I subscribe to neither.

The best way to see anti-religious bigotry is to see who is funding those that are making the most noise against Christianity (You can say all religions, but no one gives Hindus, Muslems, and Hebrews as much flak as the Christians get today IMO). It's usually someone who doesn't like it IE: other religions, rabid-atheist, or people who think they're God. They all have special interest groups they fund to be their mouth pieces. Usually you can trace all of these groups back to one man or a small group of very rich people who have a beef with religion and or capitalism.
(Many people use the argument that there is seperation between church and state. This is flawed arguement because most of the colonist were Protestant or at least sided with Protestants if you drew a line in the sand. They just didn't want a Church of England in America where the King was also the head of the church.)

I'm not one of those people. So don't chew me out on this one. I've no dog in this hunt. Bray to who ever you like. If someone answers you, put in a good word for me or get a shrink. Either way, it's your deal.
