[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So many posts here attack organized religion and call it evil and the source of evil in the world. People as recently as yesterday have posted they wish they could ban organized religion.

[b]I, like many other posters here, am not interested at all in banning organized religion. I think that the world would be a better place without religion but I had never thought of banning religion. Like that could even be true. I've seen enough ISIS violence to know people feel weirdly strong about their religions and how other should act around that religion. [/b]

Why do these posters (atheists, anti-theists) not realize our entire country is based upon religious freedom? They are admitting openly they are in direct opposition of the express wishes of our country’s founders and our constitution and laws? Or do they realize and just don’t care? 
[b]
This country is based on religious freedom, yet our calendars are based on religious holidays. Why are we shaping our schedules around Christian people's religious holidays? I would just like to be free from the impact of other people's religious observations. Ok great, go celebrate some fictional guy being reborn, but can I please have some room, somewhere in this huge country to be free from a religion's impositions?[/b]

Also, if you look at countries that limit religious freedom, you see a pattern of government control that makes said country extremely dangerous and authoritarian to live in, it’s not good. If you think organized religion is evil, why are the countries that limit or basically outlaw religion such terrible places to live?

[b]Which one? How? Ever lived in one?[/b]

If you are an atheist or anti- theist who thinks organized religion is evil, and you would like to ban organized religion, how do you feel about our forefathers (who thought religious freedom was extremely important) and the emphasis our laws place on religious freedom and liberty?
