@damianreloaded LOL Fanaticism, preaching? No, you see I nave no need to recruit. I do have a need to stop Christianity from taking over my country.
If a religion wants to create rules to its own adherents and those adherents can walk away it sucks but they have the option.
When a supposed secular nation allows religions to influence and create laws in its favour, then ALL theists that don't want that, nontheists and atheists need to speak up. Too be silent is to condone.
@damianreloaded As an atheist I often get the "why do you only pick on Christianity?" At best this is a bad attempt to distract the discussion and at worse a persecution complex does get a response from me.
I really don't consider any religion truly benign some are most assuredly more dangerous than others. We are not talking about the return of the Dark Ages or are we. "Those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it." 1/
@damianreloaded In the 70's there was a progressive country that was taken over by ultra right-wing religious personnel. The place is Iran.
So is Islam a threat? Of course but in the U.S. it's not our top threat. Christianity has been eroding our Freedom of Church and State for decades with pushes for changes in laws in their favour.
This should worry nonbelievers, theists of other religions and even those of Christianity.2/
