    All but one or two senators and representatives, the President and his administration, most law enforcement and military personnel, insist that they are guided by (their) god above all else.

    If you're concerned about separation between church and state, atheism needs to be a requirement of office.

    Couldn't we argue that by pretending we're separating church and state is a show of atheism, and then in and of itself would then be an issue of church and state? Atheism is a set of beliefs, or lack thereof. And the fact we pretend religion doesn't exist, the separation of church and state.... it all offends me. :smiley-195517897341

    You think federal employees would show up for work if it wasn't?

    Don't believe him for a second ABM! Sly does nothing but talk smack about you!














    in that hardly anything is said or posted in the forum there so I'm obviously making this up.
