Elroy, > I don't know any anti-religion fanatics. They wrap themselves in the 1st amendment, thinking that it means "freedom FROM religion." They argue against God in the Pledge of Allegiance, while they push godless philosophies under the guise of science. Although they don't believe in absolute truth, they act like their views are the truth. Anything espoused by the Bible, the Koran, or any other religion is just "superstition." Atheism might not be a religion like bald is not a hair color, but the way it's being imposed upon the public is not that much different than the way religion is accused of doing. I might add that if religion should only be practiced in the privacy of one's own home, then so should atheism and its cousin, agnosticism. Tenchusatsu

Just so that we understand each other, when I come to the defense of religion I am not referring to fanatical movements. On the other hand, the anti-religion movement is IMO a fanatical one. They are the ones imposing their views onto others. For example, there are over 500 kids in my old elementary school, including my nephew and niece. All the students and their families with the exception of one kid wish to celebrate Christmas by putting up a tree. Unfortunately, because of one single kid, the rest of the students are deprived of their celebration. Why should the beliefs of one single individual be imposed on those of a whole community?
