Legal Discrimination Against Atheists

I doubt that they would even uphold that law anymore. However, it's the principle behind the law that matters. That law says it's alright to discriminate against atheists. It echoes Papa Bush's sentiments about atheists: if you're an atheist you're not a real citizen of this country. It's not the legal effect of the law I'm worried about, it's the social one. It would be absolutely abhorrent if instead of atheists it was against Muslims or Hindus or Buddhists. Why should this be any different?

I agree with what you're saying MJ, but it's the truth. Even if the laws DIDN'T exist, the same effect would be shown.
