Ignorant?

How so?

Now Sky, some of your statements have been quite inappropriate and even inaccurate. I can hardly even SEE you way up on that high horse.

Well, the dominant religion does always dominate the nation in which it exists.

Most cultures deal with this well.....America does not.

97% of those living in America believe in God,the vast majority of them believe in the Christian God (our FOUNDING FATHER'S GOD.) And yes, we have freedom OF religion, not freedom FROM religion, though we allow that. We allow a few million Jewish ppl to worship as they see fit, and we also allow a few million Muslim ppl to worship, even though their text condemns us to death.

Well, of course, we DO have freedom FROM religion as well as freedom OF religion--and that's a very good thing.

BUT, it is sad that we must constantly fight for this freedom FROM religion due to overzealous religionists who would PUSH their particular system upon others.

If you believe our founding fathers were all Christian you've been listening to too much Christian radio. You heard of the Jefferson Bible, by any chance? Do read it, it might help.

Can you back up your statement about the "Muslim Text" condemning you to death? I assume you mean the Koran. That makes your statement a false attack on a major religion and millions of people. Cite your source (in context) as proof or retract your statement..

America does not handle religion well. That is obvious from the way it insinuates itself into politics. I offer you the current frenzy about a Muslim swearing into the congress with the Koran as an example. We could use a lot less foaming at the mouth by religious zealots about non-issues like this. All they do is encourage religious bigotry.

No, America surely does not handle religion well, possibly because the dominant religion seems determined to walk all over all other religions.

We are indeed fortunate to be protected by a good constitution.
