Not really. I'm an apostate Catholic, and, although I've met some very nice freepers who practice Asatru (Norse religion), I am not. If I ever went the full plunge, I'd join up with
these people and start saying "hail Apollo!"
However, I have grown very tired of people who claim that Christianity is the wellspring of every instance of progress since its inception, and who wish to pretend that the true roots of western civilization in Greece and Rome somehow did not exist before Christianity. That irks me to no end, so I take great glee in pointing out that historical fact to those who would argue otherwise.
Once that gets done, I'll tell f.Christian that "people who don't believe in evolution should walk off the flat edge of the Earth," which I copied from another Freepers tag line.

I've had these folks deny any link between Classical Greek and Roman concepts of democracy and the Founding Fathers. In their view, the FF were divinely inspired to create our current republic, with no connection to pre-Christian civilizations. Never mind the fact, for example, that the Roman Republic had a very similar three-branch of government set-up. Never mind the fact that both the Greeks and the Romans accepted the idea of inalienable rights for citizens.
But, hey, why let history get in the way of your desire to paint America as a divinely inspired Calvinist state.
