[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The only people I saw openly prosletising were Jehova's Witnesses. Even Mormons didn't seem intrusive at all. I guess I don't get into those types of conversations with casual acquaintances, because frankly, I have no idea who's religious and who's not. People occasionally mention going to church, but I have never been offered to be saved or find Jesus LOL[/quote]

Imagine if an atheist or even agnostic president would get elected. If you can't imagine that, that's the reason why atheists feel that religion intrude too much into our lives.[/quote]
You mean a president who doesn't hidet his true convictions to get elected? I think you'd be surprised how many closet atheists and agnostics are among us.

Religion in state matters has been a tradition for way too long to be completely eliminated in a couple of generations. On the personal level, you can decide how much religion to have in your life. Most people don't see it as a problem. But then you get people who see everything as a problem and make it their mission to intrude on others' lives.[/quote]

Of course, that's what I mean. It isn't logical to me that otherwise competent, rational, and intelligent people who are the products of a contemporary education, still truly believes in God. I am not aware of a single atheist in congress. The only explanation is that as you say, many politicians are closet atheists. The fact that they hide behind a false facade of religious belief speaks to how intolerant the general public is of atheism.

I don't care what people choose to believe in their private lives, but when their private beliefs affect the quality of publicly elected officials, then it is them who have intruded into my life. [/quote]

Damn. All this time believing in God and I thought I, too, was competent, rational , and intelligent. Guess not![/quote]
