Rising atheism in America puts 'religious right on the defensive'

Actually I think I would reword the headline as: Christian NeoCon pseudo-Christian Right puts atheism on the rise

Why?

Because the support of grotesque and inexcusable crimes against humanity are increasingly being rejected. To use a perversion of the Christian faith as justification for murder and pillage is a real turn off. That does not mean that there is no God nor that religion is without value, but that the perversion of religion is what many people perceive as the truth of religion.

As for the atheist kooks all they really want to do is exactly what they accuse others of i.e., to FORCE their beliefs upon others. Freedom OF Religion is not the same as Freedom FROM Religion. The former is tolerance of differing beliefs and the latter is the enshrinement of intolerance of differing beliefs.

Holy shit that was funny!

If it wasn't for forced converting (via torture, mass murder, etc.) those awful Pagans that were just minding their own business, christianity would have died in the cradle.

Now it is dying the death of a thousand cuts.

Too bad the christians are (probably) not going to get the exact same treatment that they meted out to others, and continue to inflict on others.

And your proof for that unsupported assertion is?
