Well, is this really any surprise? Religion has been shoving it's beliefs on others for centuries...The USA is actually very close to a religious theocracy.

True! And no wonder that rationality takes a step back so often.

Doesn't sound like it's going to be a problem at all according to that woman. However, I do fear this case and similar future cases, which will happen, will end up in long court battles.
Speaking of faith and the absence of the same thing, USA and Northern Europe truly are like two different planets.

I don't think that the ultraprotestantic so-called spirituality that is typical of America has any right to be Christianity. Rejection of tradition means severance from the body of Christianity. Many of these American Protestants will say that traditional Christians are not Christians, but they will back it up with a completely different argument.

America may be a 'theocracy' of sorts, but it should at once be acknowledged that the U. S. of A. is one of the most antitraditional countries in the world and that she has nothing in common with traditional Christian civilisation. The U. S. of A. was founded by Protestants on a Protestantism of a quite reckless sort, and the modern myth to the effect that America is the only country truly blessed by God lives on. Protestantism, by her severance from tradition, opens up for and inevitably leads to perversions.

Let's not forget that "traditional Christian civilisation" was born in the Middle East then invaded, wrecked and shattered traditional European life and culture. Now that that is completed, it is now Islam's turn...

If they don't want n atheist on their city council, who are you to object? What if atheists-and they do all too often-wanted a Chritian off a city council for being Christian?

Gee, what does that mean? Sorry, I don't understand. I am confused. Can you help me?

Oh come on, do you really believe that old yarn? That's about as true as what the Biblebeaters say when they constantly put forth that the godless atheists are taking over the country.
