Where is anyone's faith legislated?
Overturning Roe v Wade. Officially not recognizing homosexual marriage. Polygamy or polygany is illegal. Religious institutions receiving tax exemption. Do you know of any Muslim elected leaders? What about atheist? Do you think an atheist could ever be elected to President? Or a Muslim? We get Christmas off, but Pagan's don't get the Solstice off. There are numerous examples of the Christian-centricism of this nation and how the Christian agenda is legitimized by the government. Why do you think atheists and agnostics are so bitter (Other than they face eternal oblivion)?
Roe vs Wade hasn't been overturned, so right there is legislation proving just the opposite of what you are talking about. Not only that, it's not a religious or 'faith' issue, it's a moral issue.
Tax exemption? Big deal, take the tax exemption away and let the community churches get involved in politics. I see that more as a way to curtail their involvement and control them rather than doing them a favor.
Did you ever think that maybe there aren't any Muslim leaders or atheist leaders because they are a MINORITY in this country? How do you know there aren't any atheists in leadership positions anyway? Last I looked, checking off your religion wasn't necessary to run for office.
And if legal holidays is all you can come up with, give me a break. That's what you are bitching about? How 'tolerant' of you. Why would you be bitter about a day off? You are the one who is ruled by your emotions and deep hatred for something that you don't understand or share in. It stems from your feelings of never belonging to said group. I asked you earlier how your being gay has biased you against religion and the christian religion in general, but you never addressed it. I don't think that your lack of understanding about faith is because it isn't logical, I think it has more to do with not being accepted by said group and even what you perceive to be ostrasized by said group because of your homosexuality.
