We live in a free, democratic nation that is actually FREE and DEMOCRATIC
Americans (US) live in a beaurocratic nation of secular laws governed by Christian people. They have a right not to comply with the Bible, but as with all nations, the voice of the leader trumps the rights of the people. It's unfortunate, and even as a theist I would prefer...in fact especially as a theist, one interested in matters concerning God, I would prefer that all sides are given the respect they deserve. In fact, I can't see that America benefits by closetting people from the likes of Dawkins, other to uphold a faux religious community. |

But you are quite correct on it not being due to a conspiracy. |

Mithras, that's what you think.
FACT - The American government is pushing to deny secular activists access rights to education (ie as teachers). FACT - The senate is moving to pass a Bill that will require all jury members to be of a suitable faith (ie - Christian) FACT - The Bush administration has called for all books of an 'inappropriate, anti-theistic nature' to be burned You'll see... |
