I have an conservative atheist sparring/debate buddy who claims that he nurtures his spirituality....not sure now he does it...
The govt was founded upon the argument that govt should not promote one religion over another..but it was "OK" to speak about God. Does that negate the feelings of Atheists? Of course not...it just says you don't have to belong a religion..this govt will not force you to.
On a side note: I'm of the firm believe that God doesn't cause bad things to happen. He is our role model for parenting though. There are times when we mere humans have to suffer the consequences for our stupidity. I think our country has made way too many mistakes..starting with dumbing down the education system...and now we are paying for our stupid mistakes.

You certainly do have a right to no religion, I agree with you 100%. I also agree that you can be a patriot as an atheist as well.
I trust you also agree that those of us who do believe there is a God have the same right to do so as you have not to?
