Freedom of religion in the USA.

Post by wfatheist »

So, in Orange County Florida an event happened that just proves that the concept
of freedom of religion in the USA is basically freedom for Christianity and no one else.

Personally I feel that this is a great thing that happened and hopefully it will open the
eyes of many more people to the hypocrisy that is Christianity and religion in general.

Satanism is philosophically abysmal, but in terms of getting school districts and government to bar religion in general rather than let them have a free-for-all, you can't argue with its efficacy.

I was in the third grade 1997-1998 in Fort Myers Florida when they made the announcement on the intercom that we would still be singing the national anthem but with out the words "Under God"...

I didn't fully understand it back then but I never forgot about it
