Why don't we just tell the 14% to Sit Down and SHUT UP!!! Or go back to their country to live.
My own words: While i do believe strongly in what the person who started this has stated in the alst paragraph, I was wondering if anyone could tell me if any of the historical facts here are accurate? I just find it kind of contradictory if the Supreme Court rules that the Ten Commandments cant be displayed in a court house if they themselves have them hanging in their court room. Anyone know????
Also, I'm sure I offended some by posting this. Partially this was my intent for a selected few here, but I dont think badly of the rest that may feel differently than me. This is just my opinion, and everyone has one

Do you firmly believe in telling 14% of our fellow Americans who do not believe in God to "Sit down and shut up" and to "Go back to their own country to live"? Also, why would you intentionally offend a selected few here? I'm trying to clarify because this post was so long and so full of holes that I am confused.
I think that religion is a private issue and shouldn't be forced down people's throats. I respect the diversity of our nation enough to understand that 'majority rules' isn't always what is best. I really believe that freedom of and from religion is the foundation of our nation and shouldn't be undermined.
