That is the biggest moral irony of all. An atheist (or for that matter a person who define themselves as "agnostic" is responsible for his/her behavior under human-made and enforced laws. The theistic are generally forgiven or have an externalized excuse for breaking laws or rules. The loving, law abiding, charitable atheist gets hell, the pedophile Priest or (across-ilk) religious terrorist get heaven -- some even get a permanent orgy in an eternal kink.com, with scores of virgins -- sort of like what Brigham Young had on earth (he even got a Utah University named after him.)
They (not the everyday "culturally" Christian, Muslim, Catholic Buddhists or Jews etc. but the fundamentalists, sociopaths and megalomaniacs who dominate 90% of the noise machines.) won't be happy until we have true American Theocracy...
Liberty = RELIGIOUS (Christian) Liberty.
Freedom of Speech = Religious Liberty, and that includes their immutable theological beliefs trumping the evil-government courts and legislatures, and especially fuggin' science.
We are, after all, a Christian country according to neo-prophet's Santorum, Perry, Sarah Palin and Bill O'Reilly, so it must be true.
