The religions of Christianity and Atheism (yes, Atheism is a religion) cannot coexist. It’s time Christians become defiant and say enough is enough with the infringement on our God-given Constitutional Rights.

Agnosticism, the belief that it’s impossible to determine whether there’s a God, also involves a leap of faith that if there were a divine creature it’d be possible to prove it, and consequently is also a religion.

Well, just appoint yourself an “Official” of your organization, and then travel half-way to hell and back to threaten someone. That should do it. You can start by going to the town where Freedom of Religion hales and sue someone.

Being agnostic is “chic” these days. I recently asked someone who stated he is agnostic: “So, when are you going to decide?”
Atheists, agnostics, Darwinists, Secular Humanists are all the same: Non-Believers.

"Bringing in religion into this is as silly as bringing religion into the school," said Dave Diskin of Lodi United.

Inculcating a strong moral code in our children is good for the civil society.

Give me that old time religion
That old time religion
'Tis that old time religion
That's good enough for me

It was good for our mothers
It was good for our fathers
It was good for our country
And it's good enough for me
