Unfortunately it has been given a go, several times. The religious lawyers usually manage to weasel out of it by suggesting that expressing a general belief in God is not state sponsorship of any particular religion and so it doesn't violate the establishment clause...
No, we want NO laws regarding religion. Neither for or against the practice or belief of any one religion. It is only what is written in our founding documents, we just want that promise honored.
But thank you for the vivid demonstration of the blind paranoia and ignorance we face when dealing with the American public.
That is what I am saying. The lawyers for the atheist cause did have a go. That was the result. A slippery argument that got us nowhere... It is also a problem because when it did hit the news it was regarded by many Americans as being nit-picky and 'unAmerican' to try and take the issue to the courts in the first place. Not many people want to touch it these days because the case is so easily misrepresented in the press.
just today 800 london buses are to be pasted with a slogan saying 'God probably doesn't exist, so stop worrying and enjoy your life'
I cant wait to see one!
Also, to be elected in USA meand u must be religious, so i am certain many r not
You clearly do not understand the nature of these laws or the bill of rights if you think this is the case. Someone choosing to pray in public has nothing to do with things like blue laws. If no such laws existed, a person's right to choose to pray in public would still be guaranteed under the first amendment. And no one is trying to force a pastor to do anything...
I understand what you are saying, but by the same token, you don't seem to understand. The way the issue has been spun in the past actually hurts any atheist causes. No one winds up thinking, it just turns into an irrelevant hostility over patriotism because of the way the US Christian propaganda works. There are humanist movements in the works, but the fight over the pledge is a bad one right now.
The last numbers I heard were that there are at least 8 closeted atheists in the US Senate and as many as 30 in the House.
I value freedom, which America was founded on. Apparently, you are more interested in theocracy. I suggest that it is you who should leave if you hate freedom so much. I hear that Iran has a theocracy already set up... why don't you move there?
If homosexual marriage is allowed, it doesn't force clergy to marry them. Clergy could still restrict who they marry. It's the Justice of the Peace, a PUBLIC office that would do such marriages.
For what it's worth, I don't think the government should marry anyone.

I praise you :P
Did you not just see this video? Why would you make such an idiotic response to this? And y'all wonder why we go to your videos and insult you.
