Sounds like that guy has waaay too much time on his hands....oh wait, he's a prisoner.
So the 7th Circuit Court decision will mean that places where atheists gather will be tax exempt, because it is "a religion"? That will be the next step.
Stupidity has no bounds!
Geee, you can take one's life, property or liberty but you can't prevent them from forming a prayer group? Something awfully screwy about this line of logic.
That's oK. It doesn't matter because Evolution is only a Theory, it's not a Law.
I should post this outstanding treatise on the Fourteenth Amendment to FR. It is a real eye opener and full of valuable facts most do not know.
Evolution is un-constitutional? What's next? Newton's laws? Gravity? Thermodynamics? I think the "secular humanists" believe in those also...
It takes an Atheist to build a prison population.
Now there is an opportunity for a best seller.
I think we're missing his point:
"Because non-religion is now a religion, the Establishment Clause of the Constitution now requires all court houses in the United States to publicly display a copy of the Ten Commandments. When religion was defined simply as a belief in God, it was unconstitutional to display religious monuments anywhere near court houses. However, the absence of God has also become a religion. At best, the amount of space in court houses filled by religious paraphernalia will have to be equal to the amount of space without any religious things."
Evolution must be a religion because I see those fish with feet and Darwin written inside the fish on cars all the time.
I do not believe eating unbleached peanut husks will grant eternal life. According to this reasoning, that's a religion?
First, religious believers would try to say the atheism was a belief system itself and atheists would say, no it's not, it's the ABSENCE of belief. But here, thanks to these, courts ruling, everyone's arguing visa versa! So which is it, everybody?? Stop basing your reasoning happens to support your contention at this particular moment. Is atheism a belief or the absence of belief? Both sides should pick one and stick to it.

Evolution is not a religious belief. It is a scientific theory.
In other words, it is something that some people (I'll note myself) believe in. However, that belief doesn't stem from any sort of religious system. It stems from observation of the world around us, just like the belief that ice is cold and the sun sets in the west. Many christians believe that the sun sets in the west. That must mean that it is a christian belief! If you tell anybody which direction the sun is setting in, then you must be preaching the word! See the problem with this article's logic yet?
Evolution is a religion, so you can't teach it in schools.
ID is not a religion, so you have to teach it in schools.
Sorry, but we are not all as dumb as you might hope.
Does any of this stem from The Wedge Strategy of the Center for the Renewal of Science & Culture?
But I could be wrong; if so, here's a little sample of the real old time religion...

For once I agree with the AFA. This is what you get when you let judges decide real-world factual issues instead of simply what the law is.
That is, without a doubt, the most asinine argument I've seen yet.
Bump!!
