Freedom of religion shouldn't equal freedom to preach bullshit. people have a right to protect aspects of their cultural heritage, but their should be no rights protecting morons who want creationism taught in a science classroom. New religions should be rejected and disbanded, like scientology (and maybe mormons haha). @Forlo12345 I don’t …

Anyone can create a religion and for tax exempt status (the scientologists pulled it off!). And so the fundies will try to use their status to push religion into schools. The 1st amendment protects people's choices of religion, but isn't meant to support it. This may seem radical, but I think we should remove ALL government programs meant to give tax breaks to religious groups (unless it's community service). Fundies are using …

For every person it's different. In fact, I used to be a Christian, then I became a deist, and now agnostic. It took me about ten years to accomplish that. One of my friends took a few months to do that. And I know someone else who, after 20 years, is still questioning his faith but refuses to deconvert. I don't know, for every person, it requires a separate form of logic to convince them they don't need to factor a supernatural being into the equation. Well, I don’t know. …
