And just how can't an atheist take these comments offensively being antipodal to Bush's faith?

He should never have appologized fot the bring it on remark. Now people will see him as weak and they will be jumping on every thing he says hoping they can get him to appologize again.

"President Bush goes far beyond keeping his faith to himself. He's trying to turn our government into a 'religion bully' where the state enforces religious belief and religious correctness. That's un-American," he concluded.

What is this guy talking about? He has obviously never lived in a country where the government bullies its citizens. Our government is not being turned into a "bully" that enforces religious belief and correctness. This is simply not happening. Leaving "under God" in the pledge of allegiance is not enforcement of religious belief. Those words have been in the pledge for fifty years and nobody complained until a few years ago.

Finally I have to say that Ellen Johnson does not know much about our constitution when she says we have a "constitutional commitment to separation of government and religion." There is no such commitment in our constitution to the kind of extreme and total separation of government and religion that these atheists and the ACLU advocate. It's just mind-boggling the way the ACLU wants to remove all references to religion from all government property in America. They remind me of the Stalin regime in the old Soviet Union that tried to remove all religion from the Soviet state. The ACLU has lost its collective mind, leading to their outrageously extreme efforts to remove a cross from the LA county seal and to remove a religious plaque from Grand Canyon National Park that was a gift from a group of nuns.

I was just thinking, here I am an atheist, and not the slightest bit put off by the Presidents comments. Of course I don't agree with the President, but no big deal. These atheist fools are giving atheism an extra bad name.

As I was beginning to formulate my response about others he could have said he can not imagine as president, I read your reply.

I can't imagine someone being president of the United States who is not a Republican. Divisive? Maybe.

That is what I wanted to say, but you said it first. I do however disagree with your "maybe." Its not the least bit divisive.

You express clearly the motivating factors behind the atheism of most of the anti-Bush atheists. Well stated. I'm an anti-Bush atheist who is really put off by these people, who you accurately describe as being primarily motivated by anti-American socialism/communism.

I honestly doubt Bush's statements offends any Atheists. People may claim to be "offended" but I really doubt they mean it.

I think you are only half right. I'd say got it, at least as far as their initial reaction. But then their desire to control others speech kicks in, they lie to themselves over and over, until they actually believe it.

Sometimes it is best to just sit back and accept other peoples ignorance. Besides, can you honestly say that you have not spoken out of ignorance your self. I know I have.
