Closeted Atheist`s, Agnostics, Non-believers, and Non -religious American taxpayers are nauseated by having myths of gods and other supernatural beliefs shoved down their throats. There are countless religious symbols displayed everywhere, and they are impossible to avoid or turn off.  Religious ideas are protected by the constitution, but they should be kept off limits to over 50 million free thinking Americans.

““Fresh attacks against Christians in the
Philippines and Nigeria have marred Christmas
festivities as church leaders condemned religious
persecution and called for global peace and
reconciliation.”“
*****************

Now there’s one for the books on hypocrisy.
Throughout history religions have ALWAYS
persecuted other religions and peoples. As for
calling for peace and reconciliation, that would be
taking away their ‘bread and butter’ of power. 
This does appear to be some kind of blowback
that comes with the usual ‘why did this happen?’
kind of irony.

That makes for these condemnations where it is
ok for some religions to beat the hell out of other
religions and other peoples, but the
righteousness of the xtians, in this case, makes
for their authority more superior, excusable and
sanctioned by their god.

I thought at one time, foolishly, that religions
were supposed to have stopped this kind of stuff.
