Legal Discrimination Against Atheists

I'll even attempt to clarify what exactly I'm saying.

If you are straight, that does not mean you are necessarily against gay people, it's just a choice you make, and you don't have to be against gay people to be straight.

If you are white, that does not necessarily mean you are against black people or indians or anything of the sort, and you don't have to be against them to be white.

As a Christian, Athiests are THE ENEMY. I won't say that NO Christians will aid Athiests, but for the most part, it's no different than aiding the enemy. Part of being Christian is thinking that Athiests are absolute evil, satan worshipers, etc.

I'm Christian and I personally believe ANYBODY CAN BELIEVE WHATEVER THEY WANT. So I suppose I fall into that 2% of Christians that are willing to accept people for being different.

Personally helping the Enemy fight is just not common sense, you aren't going to do that. That philosophy will go for basically everything in this world, Governments, Football teams, Your buddy getting jumped and you help the kids jumping him, wtf-etc;

Right, and that's my point. A Christian is not going to help an Athiest, because Athiests are the enemy. If a Christian started fighting for Athiest's rights, I do believe the church would disown them.

However, a straight person can very well help a gay person, a white person can help a black person, etc, because they are not ENEMIES, they are just different.

Well back in Slavery days they were enemies, maybe after some progression took place (like you said, Education) underwent, maybe things could change. People get too serious about religion, then again througout the history of the Human race it's been the cause of MOST wars.

I never really got the impression that they were viewed as "enemies" so much as subhuman labor, like a tilling-horse or other beasts of burden in those days.

People get serious about religion because often it's their belief in what occurs in the eternity after this comparatively short life, I can understand why they're so serious. What I don't understand is why most won't ever be content to "live and let live", by letting others live the way they want/believe, especially when it doesn't encroach on their beliefs.

It's simple. If someone does not agree with their viewpoint, self-doubt accumulates to the point of aggressive disbelief that they could possibly think differently. Their faith is shaken by it.

My post was more rhetorical than serious, but that would be a most excellent explanation, better than I probably would have done.

Bravo, sir.

Sometimes I wonder if things like that are true. I'd like to see how my mom would handle a debate on this subject with you guys.
