“Freedom is measured by the distance between church and state”
People continue their anti-islamic bullshit, fear-mongering and just plain stupidity.
I’m not pro-Islamic, just anti-bigotry. In fact, I’m generally anti-religion, and ONE of the reasons for that is because the greatest function of religion seems to be hating on all the other religions, and this is no more greatly exemplified than the current hoo-haw over the [...]
As would be expected, Maggie Gallagher is absolutely livid!
Prop. 8: Judge Walker’s bias will be overruled
Puh-leeeeeeze! The poor woman starts off badly, and then it goes downhill from there:
Despite the media hoopla, this is not the first case in which a federal judge has imagined and ruled that our Constitution requires same-sex marriage. [...]
This is just ridiculous!

Bravo!
I don’t know who the news person is, but this FOX interview with Dan Barker reveals just how ignorant the news person is. See if you can find how many errors he makes.
Here’s some help:
1. Christmas does NOT have Christian roots, but was taken from earlier Pagan holidays and modified to facilitate forced conversion to [...]
Sheesh!
If you watch the video attached to this story you can only shake your head and wonder what is wrong with these people. The judge ruled that sectarian prayers do not belong in the Forsyth County Commissioners meetings. So what do they do? Right after the ruling they have yet another Christian preacher issue the [...]
Oh good lord! Supreme Prejudice: Scalia Says Government Can Promote Religion
What an ass! How can he be considered qualified to sit on the Supreme Court after bullshit like this:
The U.S. Supreme Court is gearing up to come back into session Oct. 5, and just in time for that, Justice Antonin Scalia has decided to pop [...]
There is an organized effort afoot to deface our nation’s Capitol Visitor’s Center, and such destruction of public property needs to be stopped.
The major problem is that they are proposing that taxpayer dollars be used to engrave “In God We Trust” as well as the adulterated version of the Pledge of Allegiance over the entrance [...]
Today is the Fourth of July — Independence Day in the United States. The Colonists declared their independence from British rule. Our founding fathers established our country to not only be free of British rule, but free of religious rule as well. Ours is one of the first truly secular nations in the modern world.

Background: Today the California Supreme Court announced their decision: Prop 8 remains, and same-sex marriage continues to be illegal in California, BUT the 18000 gay and lesbian couples who were legally married during that brief window in 2008 will remain legally married. What a weird little bubble to have floating around in a state where [...]
The California Supreme Court is expected to announce its decision on Tuesday, May 26. This is when the world will learn if California will
invalidate or nullify the marriages of 18,000 same-sex couples already legally joined, or
allow them to stay married while denying that same right to every other same-sex couple in California, or
recognize that Prop [...]
If you aren’t regularly scanning Planet Humanism, Planet Atheism, and Global-Atheist, you’re probably missing a BUNCH of interesting, enlightening, and highly-educational news items. In just one day contributors have offered up a plethora of goodies I haven’t time to address. But a couple goodies are really annoyingly bothersome.
This ignorant diatribe from Pat Boone is astoundingly [...]

Many people have tried to re-write American History to paint the image that our country was founded on Christianity or that we were somehow a “Christian nation”. They have twisted historical facts and taken bits and pieces out of context to create their facade, even [...]
