Because if they don't, and they let the extremist right-wing christians take over, then we'll have no freedoms... But please, don't assume that all atheists are the same, that's the biggest mistake you can make... just because I'm here argueing a point, it's because I enjoy doing it... I enjoy debating and exchanging information... But I have atheist friends... are they here with me debating along my side? No they're not, because it's not something they care to do - just because a few atheists come and debate, that does not mean that all atheists feel the same way. It's just like because some muslims fly a plane into a building, does that mean that all muslims are terrorists? No... Just because a few fundamentalist christians believe that the world was created in 7 litterral days according to the KJV of the bible, does that mean that all christians believe that? No... Why am I here debating this? Puting my energy into it? Like I said above, because I enjoy it..
Welcome to GW's America! We don't want no atheists, no muslims, no budhists, no pagans, no rights to choosers, no feminists, no blacks, no asians, no mexicans, and no definitely no homosexuals. Canadians are ok as long as you shut up and swear allegiance to me. So is you aren't white, straight and god-fearing, we'll get you a ticket to Guantanamo Bay and you can live in squalor with the rest of your kind that want to hurt America!
