I'm afraid I don't follow the reasoning. Oh wait, after bothering to go back and read all the other stuff, I do. And it still gives me a headache. I'm not sure I want to get involved in this thread, but it's my understanding that atheists can be moral relativists or moral absolutists, a belief in right and wrong doesn't require a belief in god (or the supernatural or the divine or the spiritual). I suppose you could try to argue that secular humanism has a set of values and is therefore a religion, but that seems to be stretching the definition of religion so wide as to make the word meaningless. This atheist is gonna have to agree with Boondock and Burgundy on this one. |

Always look on the bright side of life?
Look. I-- I'd had a lovely supper, and all I said to my wife was, 'That piece of halibut was good enough for Jehovah.'

It goes back to our forefathers intetion of seperation of church and state. The Ten Commandments don't belong on PUBLIC display in GOVERNMENT buildings. If (since this seems to keep coming back to a courthouse for some reason) a Judge want's to hang a copy of the commandments, or a cross on the wall of his private chambers, that's his business. As already stated, if the commandments are on PUBLIC display at a GOVERNMENT building, the the Koran, the Torah, Hindu text (sorry don't know what they would actually be called) and any and every other religion's (including those of the "Satanic" faith)text's should be as well. For the comment of a lack of display being a display of the "Atheist" religion, that's just rediculous......reguardless of the "legal" definiton of a religion, Atheism is NOT a religion and therefore has no "Icons"

Also, please understand "The Separation of Church and State" before you start using it freely in debate. So far NO ONE in this argument has used it validly in any comment. The law DOES NOT...DOES NOT guarantee the absence of religion in government. It does the opposite...guaranteeing the absence of goverment in religion. Meaning the government cannot step in and tell churches and members of the church what they should believe. Actual Text: http://www.house.gov/Constitution/Amend.html For the record - I agree that Atheism is different than christianity in that it does not involve a higher power, however the way we treat atheism is unfair. Therefore we either need to establish Atheism as a religion in all cases, or include "secular beliefs" in with religions. Because to me it is you religion, and you (as an atheist) removing all my religion's symbols IS pushing your beliefs on me. That's a violation of my rights, and therefore unconstitutional. Also for the record - I would have no problem with having all religions represented in a case like the courtroom one. To me all is better than none.
