"If black is a color, then Atheism is a religion."
Oh, how nice. More fundy wit. Why, I almost thought it was Oscar Wilde posting here.
In particular, in the United States, the teaching of Atheism must be prohibited wherever the teaching of Christianity is prohibited."
Where in the hell have you ever seen atheism taught? I strongly suspect the textbook would be even more thin than one for creationism.
"If Atheism is a religion, then it must be subject to the same legal restrictions imposed by governments on all other religions."
Well, in a round about legally technical way it is. It's protected under the Freedom of Religion bit, even though it's not a religion.
"But where is Atheism being taught?"
Damned fine question. In fact, I asked it not too long ago.
"Atheism is being taught, by default, in all places where other religions cannot be taught, particularly in the public schools."
Again, that's true in a very round about legally technical sort of way. Then again, atheists don't go around trying to convert children. During school. In federally funded buildings. During class. In fact, atheists don't teach atheism at all.
"
When the State mandates that the Theory of Evolution be taught as fact, that is establishing the religion of Atheism, because the Theory of Evolution asserts that all life forms are created not by God, but by pre-existing natural processes."
Unfortunately, evolution has jack shit to do with atheism. As does all science for that matter.
"This is pure Atheism! If we are not created by God, then there might as well be no God, for all the difference He makes."
Bingo! Keep thinking that way and pretty soon the dark veil of religion will fall from your face and you'll perceive the world as it truly is.
"The mere fact that many scientists are Atheists does not entitle them to establish Atheism as our State Religion!"
Most scientists aren't atheists you nit.
"When the State prohibits free discussion of God in the classroom, that is establishing the religion of Atheism."
Discuss it all you want in comparative religion classes (but don't whine when your god is considered just as mythological as Zeus). You can even talk about your god in philosophy class when it's appropriate.
"Wherever the State permits Atheistic ideas to be spread but prohibits Theistic ideas, that is establishing the religion of Atheism."
Too bad that by any definition (other than the legal one apparently) atheism isn't a religion. Check out Websters or the OED if you're confused about what a religion actually is.
