(Since atheism is NOT a religion making the idea of all politicians governing on strictly secular principles is NOT violating their freedom of religion.)
WRONG. Your Secular Progressive Atheism Mandate is contrary to whatever religion they presume. You're telling me to contradict my religious freedoms. I'll take freedom over the tyranny you offer any day.

The tyranny of tax exemption for churches?
The tyranny of resolutely not prosecuting anyone for worshipping?
Help me out here, I'm a little confused.
Oh, right, the tyranny of not letting you contradict other people's freedoms by forcing your god down their throats!
Freedom is a great thing, as long as it's my freedom and not someone else's!
Moron.
crazyroper: It's right behind the Gay Agenda and in front of the feminazi manifesto in your "Overthrow the Christian foundation to insure anarchism" leaflet combo.
Didn't you get it at the monthly abortion-for-fun drive / BBQ?
Secular
Huh?
Progressive
Wha?
Atheism
Eh?
Mandate
But... I... When... When did we get a mandate? I KNOW we didn't have one when I joined, because I remember needing something at the initiation ritual to wipe the splattered virgin's blood off my robes and there was no paper items in the atheist starter packs they were handing out.
Speaking of those robes, can you believe they charge £25 for them? And it's a total scam because no sooner have you paid than you've offered your first dozen souls to the dark lord and advanced to wearing the green robes.
Should have been an agnostic. At least they get to go on day trips every now and then.
No, it's not violating "freedom of religion at all, it's violating freedom "from" religion. You forget yet again that we wish to be discluded.
In short, Jesus can suck it. He implemented his own political agenda for the sake of personal power and gain and helped no one during his time. Not women, not children, not slaves or homosexuals or environmental issue, not a thing.
“WRONG.”
OOoooh, ALL CAPS, that means I MUST listen.
Go ahead…
“ Your Secular Progressive Atheism Mandate”
There’s no such thing as Secular Atheism.
Secular is completely devoid of religious notions. Like 2 + 2 = 4. I do not need any god to explain this math, nor does the math only work if there are no gods. I jsut need four pennies and, IIRC, quite a bit of patience.
“is contrary to whatever religion they presume.”
No. Secular is independent of whatever religion you practice. And it’s not atheism.
“You're telling me to contradict my religious freedoms.”
I’m guessing that these ‘religious freedoms’ you want to preserve are not religious freedoms.
“I'll take freedom over the tyranny you offer any day.”
Okay. If you don’t wantto marry a same-sex partner,that’s up to you. You don’t have the right to prevent me from whoever I want to marry, as long as they’re consenting adults.
Catholics have the religious freedom to consider Catholic Weddings to be the only valid ones. But if a Catholic business,such as a Hospital, has special privileges for ‘spouse’ of the patient, they cannot ignore spouses from marriages performed in other religious traditions,or as a Justice of the Peace’s wedding.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
