[Atheist equals anti-religion?]
mesquiteskeetr: "According to US Government records, Atheist is a religion."
a&O: "Not only that but it's also anti-American. It also equals a bad and immoral person half the time. Most people just hide the atheism in the closet because they are so sensitive about the guilt trips people lay upon them for seeing thing differently."

You grandly pronounce, with no evidence, that atheism "equals a bad and immoral person half the time," and then you accuse us of being sensitive? You are supposed to replace the batteries in your irony meter twice a year.
According to US Government records, Atheist is a religion.
If this is true then the US Government is even more stupid than I thought, and I already thought it very stupid indeed. Plus it would be illiterate as well, as even if atheism was a religion, atheist wouldn't be.
If people hide their atheism in the closet, it's because they are afraid of getting persecuted by intolerant fundie idiots like yourself. You know, all those horrible acts that fundies claim other people do to Christians.
Do you have a reference for the "US Government" records, or are you simply lying for Jesus again?
Atheism is a religious position which denies the validity of religions. Religions are founded on a set of beliefs- atheism is the absence of those beliefs. By your logic, 'Bald' is a hair colour.
And if you're thinking of responses to a 'Religion' field in a census form or similar, that's simply the most appropriate response to a badly phrased question. It's exactly the same as saying 'None', except we have a special word for it.
Aimee Semple McPherson, Lonnie Frisbee, Oral Roberts, Jim & Tammy Bakker, Jimmy Swaggert, Mike Warnke, Robert Tilton, Frank Houston, John Paulk, Douglas Goodman, Kent Hovind, Ted Haggard, Paul Barnes, Richard Roberts, Bishop Thomas Wesley Weeks and Juanita Bynum, Bishop Earl Paulk...should I go on?
One says it is a religion according to the US govrnment and the other says it's anti-American, make up your fucking fundie minds?PS Since both of them are lying fundies, they probably don't have minds and the question is rhetorical.
"Most people just hide the atheism in the closet because they are so sensitive about the guilt trips people lay upon them for seeing thing differently."
Ne'er a truer nor more tragic statement hath been spoken.
Calls of, "that's anti-american" are exactly what created McCarthyism and the fascist state of the 50's.
You would do the same thing but black list atheists instead. I'm having a hard enough time getting a job without my faith, or lack thereof, being called into question.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
