For you? Most definitely a religion and you clearly believe only your religion should be allowed. No thank you. I'll use my own blind guess. I don't need yours imposed upon me.
But thank you for the irrelevant bumper stickers.
No, the Constitution clearly says- No Establishment of Religion. Period. Keep your Dogma off my lawn.
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.
So now tell me is a law prohibiting a person from engaging in his religious beliefs on public land tantamount to prohibiting the free exercise thereof?
Atheists are funny to me and I happen to identify myself as one. My main difference with most atheists is that I don't care if other people practice their religion or say a prayer on public property. As long as congress passes no law respecting or prohibiting it.
As an example in high school the coaches liked to say the lord's prayer. I stood with the team but didn't recite the words. No big deal.
How can anyone be offended by that which they do not believe anyway?
Frankly, I think it is because they do believe.
