Minority Rights for Agnostics and Atheists

Message from Mr. P.

I felt this was better served in the "Religion" forum, so I moved the thread.

Thank you,

Mr. P.

I'd like to discuss the fact that I think our rights are stepped on by our government. Our rights as atheists and agnostics, and frankly, the rights of other "minority" religions as well. I'd also like suggestions involving what we can do about it.

A prime example of this discrimination would be the ban on federal funding for stem cell research. The decision to ban federal funding is almost strictly a religious one based on this administrations abortion views.

There are many other examples including the continued use of "In God We Trust" on our bills and the "Under God" in the pledge.

For a country founded on the principle of the seperation between church and state, America is one messed up place.
