I have gotten to the point that I believe atheists should be split into categories: anti-theists and non-theists. There are many non-theists but a growing number of anti-theists. They have gotten aggressive, cruel and have made it so that religious speech is actually less protected than other forms of speech. Reading the first amendment, it is clear that religious speech is actually to be elevated and afforded a special level of license.

I agree with what you said about atheists, since I am one. What's really bizarre, is that this so called "Athiest Movement" is taking on the worst traits and zealotry of religoius extremists...Why can't they just go on not believing as they see fit and leave everyone else alone?

I think that many atheists actually are envious and therefore hateful towards people who believe in God. This transcends any political or constitutional issues.

As someone who doesnt believe in god myself, all I expect from this society is that no one force me into a church/temple or mosque; that my "lack of religion" doesnt hold me back from availing myself of what this country has to offer. Any so-called atheist movement that suggests that they are in any way being religously,constrained,perscecuted or coerced in this country, is either delusional or simply driven by hatred.

I am not "offended" by the fact that others speak the name of god in public places. Even if I were offended, the constitution cannot and does not protect us all from being "offended"
This is all I have to say on this. I hope that the religious folks here don't lump "atheists" into one pot...we're not all fanatics. Some of us are even conservatives.
