56. Unfortunately, some "atheists" insist they are above religion.
So, they zealously and pompously insist that no one else can have their beliefs displayed. Again, because they see their beliefs in NO god to be above beliefs in a god. (e.g. one complains the cross avatar offends)

And, since their beliefs do not, for them, constitute a religion, they can attack the religious since the Constitution only protects the religious from the religious. Again, they are above that.

So, unfortunately, your appeal to "religious freedom" doesn't apply to them. They are just too good.

I'd like to see a good definition for religion. Something tells me there will be two groups wanting to politicize the product. In the middle will be atheists and Christians and whatevers who are kind and quiet.
