Earlier you stated that when the fundamental constitutional rights of others are violated you would "...look the other way". Yet you creech about the ACLU.
sigh
I am an athiest, and I really don't care what superstition you wish to follow. I think that they're the psychological and philosophical equivalents of security blankets. I will, however, defend to the death your right to believe what you will and worship as you will. I do that because I live in this country and happend to believe strongly in the right of people to assemble and do whatever the hell they want in their private lives. I also believe that if we ever lost that right myself and my fellow athiests would be some of the first against the wall.
These pagans aren't hurting anyone, and I fail to see why you object so strongly to their right to assemble and worship as they will in private.
Your kind of "I'm a Christian before I'm an American" pap is what makes me think that the ACLU might not be wrong in keeping religion out of public life.
My dog tags would have said athiest when I joined the Army but they refused to put it there. They put non instead. Whatever they want covers a lot of ground which is a point I've tried to make several times on this thread.

I don't object that strongly. I believe they have a right to believe what ever they want as I've already said. I object to the lie they believe as I do the lie that you believe and I won't fight very hard to defend a lie. That is the point I am trying to make. It's a religious point.

"Defend to the death" is PAP. You proved it yourself before you even finished your little rant.
