... but that is what some people would like the country to be.  I read a story about a high school getting sued because they had a public prayer before the kick-off of a football game.  I'm tempted to write all of my congressmen and representatives to tell them to get Atheism recognized as a religion, so lawsuits forcing Atheism on a people or institution would be thrown out. 

If I am running a school, a business, or ANYTHING outside of my front door, I am going to do it as a complete reflection of me.  We all should be allowed to do the same.  I mean, if a school DOESN'T have prayer before a game, should I be the one suing?  People of faith seem to be pretty tolerant of Atheism, but it doesn't come back the other way.

Nobody is forcing anything on anybody.  I take that back.  Atheists are.

disclaimer:  not all atheists, but even atheists know the ones I am talking about.  Just like there are Christians the the rest of us cringe at, there are some who make a bad impression for the whole group.

But seriously.  I'm writing my congressmen.
