if our atheists received the same honor as radical Muslims,
would terms like faith, supernatural, omniscient
and omnipresent be outlawed? -- j

    (Watch me get blasted for this) -
    In the USA an atheist has the same "right" to practice his non-religion as an Isamic person (or Christian) has to paractice thier religion.

    However, neither the atheist, Muslim, Christian or Jew has any right to infringe on anothers ability to practice their own religion.

    (Radical Muslims are not the same as the majority of the Isamic world, just as Jim Jones and even Westboro are not representative of all Christians.)

    the problem is that rationality leads to predictability,
    and many don't want to be that. . I was purely rational
    for 20 years and got over it ... in order to marry and
    make a family. . what I got was a family of 2 plus a good
    dog. . but appreciating the quirks of a bunch of
    interesting people is worth it -- worth bending out of
    shape a little. . but I would still like to ban "preventative,"
    just for spite! -- j

    Terms like "free-thinker", "reason", and "brights" are not outlawed, although maybe "brights" should be outlawed. j/k. My point is we're a pluralistic society. As an atheist, I do not want "faith" outlawed. Banning it would not honor atheists.

    We have a natural right to be wrong about things. Radical religionists, including Islamists, do want reason banned. But I think I'm right, and they're wrong about this.
