"People don't know how to be respectful and polite, and respect the religions of others? What's with this hair trigger intolerance?"
Interesting that you would put it that way.
But then, even more interesting is your follow up.
"Since the vast majority of people in the US believe in God in one way or another, why should the tiny minority of atheists rule who gets to say what and when? I don't think so.
And as for witches, when a large percentage of US citizens follow Wicca, get back to me at that point."
So, let's get this straight, They should be polite to you, and those who believe as you do, but you don't feel a need to show them the same courtesy you demand of them?
Quite frankly, it's attitudes like this that lead me away from the idea of Prayer/Religion in Schools, Government, etc.
If, and when this strangely dysfunctional idea that people should blissfully go along while some Religions should "go to the back of the bus" while others are given preferential treatment ends "get back to me at that point."
I call your attitude "swallowing a camel and straining at a gnat".
Wiccans - who actually practice whatever it is they practice - are a few thousand, maybe? And it's an invented crock of nonsense anyway. No one is advocating preventing this supposed witch from doing anything legal. But there is no reason why any elected body of people (or unelected for that matter) should be forced to listen to her. If she wants a platform, she should either find a group of people who want to listen to her by hiring her own hall, getting her own coven, getting her own soapbox and taking it to the town square, or putting an ad in the paper and having Wiccan gatherings at her house.
If, for instance, my elderly mother had been Wiccan, and wanted me to attend a Wiccan ceremony, I would probably have attended with the same politeness as I attended her church. That is an entirely different situation than a Board meeting of people who decide they'd like the refreshment of a prayer before work. Why should anyone of any religion be allowed to force themselves on people who don't want to listen, any more than you or I should be forced to attend any religious (or other) ceremony we don't wish to attend?
