Reply #5: See, it's the "forced" thing I don't like.

[Lyric]

An Atheist Nation is no different than A Christian Nation; I don't want to live in a country where ANY religious point-of-view is The Official Religion Of The Nation. People should always have the right to decide that sort of thing for themselves without any interference from the government.

I'm an Atheist. My son is leaning toward Reform Judaism. I am *fine* with that, because his beliefs are HIS choice--not mine. I might explain the potential political ramifications of a set of beliefs if they might cause harm to his relationship with his family (his parents are a lesbian couple, so fundie Christianity could be a problem) but I have no right to insist that he follow me in my religious choices. I only wish that all children had the same freedom of conscience and acceptance from their parents.
