What do Atheists believe?

So you really don’t believe religion and belief is a privately held conviction and choice protected by the Constitution?

You reveal yourself. You don’t like others right to worship as they choose.

Glad you openly admitted it.

You are highly dishonest.

here's the quote, exactly:

religious beliefs influencing American society and public policy, as we feel it is unconstitutional, unproductive, and un-American.

See this part: religious beliefs influencing American society and public policy

Not religion itself. Yes freedom of religious beliefs is constitutionally protected, and that is why allowing any one religion to influence the above is un-American.

Your dishonesty, and intent to mislead about a very clearly written post, is shameful.

Are you voting for politicians who bring religion into government? Religious nutters in DOE, etc?

So my religion and my votes are subject to your examination?

Is there nothing atheists allow as off limits to their opinions?

Again, where are the examples of me affecting you?

I can vote and believe as I wish, as can you.

For all the angry religious posters out there:

If you don't want to know what atheists believe, don't make a thread asking what atheists believe.

Of course, you can. You said, "Still waiting for examples of how my religious beliefs impact you." So I answered. ??

People who hold religious beliefs are not barred from holding public office.

Except in your mind.

Nothing bothers atheists more than people who have a belief in God and express it. It makes them burn in rage.

LOL. I would say that is the pot calling the kettle black. Christians here are absolutely fixated on atheism. There are probably as many threads posted about atheists as all the other religion topics combined. We have at least three going right now.

What’s with the atheist fixation?

What’s with atheists in a religion forum?

It’s called “Recent Topics”, numb nut.

In a religion forum, willfully blind one.

Since you are new to the Interwebs (when did your DH finally allow you to use the computer BTW?), let me explain this: there is a special "view" on DCUM that many people use that show recent posts from MANY topics.

There are religious people who can keep their religious beliefs to themselves and still hold office. Please refer to President Carter.

Probably the only legit religious POTUS. And yet he didn't try to take away rights from others.

This is factually correct as per the US Constitution: ...; but no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States.

This is also factually correct as per the US Constitution, which is why beliefs of a certain religion cannot be used as a basis for laws: Amendment I
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;

I think the establishment clause is what the poster was referring to.

As for the original question, "What do atheists believe"? Virtually all American Atheists believe that those two parts of the Constitution are the law of the land and should be enforced fully and uniformly.

DP. Yes, you can. And it affects other people. That's the point.

And that's what you asked -- how your religious beliefs affect other people. This is one major way they do, and they are allowed to.

No, they care about what is actually true.

Are you saying what is factually true can differ from person to person?

No, I thought the entire world agrees on everything and we all have the same opinions.

Scientists and doctors have different opinions on virtually everything.

Your search for absolute truth is a sham.

Not really, there is overwhelming consensus on the established body of scientific and medical knowledge.

On the other hand, religious sects differ wildly about the nature of God and relationship between God and man. If lack of consensus leads you to call something a sham, then you are right, searching for truth through religion is a sham.

politics forum posts are excluded from that. Perhaps religion forum posts should be. Personally I don't use it though.

I definitely think they should. Unless the religious nuts actually like the drama and perceived persecution...

Jeff has addressed this topic at least once in Website Feedback and the answer is no.
