Correct.

Nowhere did I define God. I made a bunch of generalizations to try to get my point across.

You really haven't said anything here.
We can explain that we can't understand him. Saying "it's just God's way" is not understanding him. It's accepting him.
There are no books that "explain" God. That's ridiculous.

According to an atheist, having a religious symbol in a state building would be denying that person's rights ("forcing christianity on them). Therefore, NOT having it must be denying my rights, because that would be "forcing atheism on me".
Again you try to claim that there is such thing as a person with NO religion. That is simply not true.

Wrong. It is most certainly NOT the law. You said it yourself here:

Which means no one religion is more important than another. Atheism does not take precedence over christianity...etc.

Correct...then why do people use the courts to try to tell churches what to do? THAT is mixing church and state.

Don't even start with this BS. I've already said many times I have no problem with other religions. You can do whatever you want, and even if I was King of America, I wouldn't change that. Besides, I don't listen to christian music.
PS...if I had things my way, there would be no parking tickets.
