    You sound like a zealot.

    If you are so certain about your definition of atheism being the correct one, then how do you explain that the AAI uses the term "atheists and non-believers" to refer to their primary interest group?

    We are a country that has Christians and are founded on Christian principles I hate this sectarian self-serving BS.

    No We're Not. This country was found by men of many different religious ideals. We have very specific, plainly stated separation of church and state (which is quickly ebbing away [Thanks Right-Wingers!!!]). A good portion of the men who wrote the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution were Atheists. Seriously, do your research and stop trying to "own" the country with your ridiculous and archaic beliefs by saying the country was founded by any particular sect of religion.

    A simple google search (try this one for instance) will prove you wrong. Hell, some of the founding fathers were actually incredibly against religion in general, citing a slew of negative impacts religion has had on societies all throughout history.

    I hate being "lumped up" into other people's belief systems. "Oh you're American? Guess you're Christian then."

    Exactly where did I mention appearence? Even though we do look a lot like apes, the similarities are even greater beneath the surface. When you look at their behavior and social structure, the similarities are even more apparent.

    By the way, dogs and rats ARE related. Every form of life on the planet is related to every other form of life.

    "All life on Earth is directly related by descent. You are a cousin not just of apes, but of the sequoia and the amoeba, of mosses and butterflies and blue whales. - Dale McGowan

    There is even a school of thought that says without Christianity a lot of Scientific discoveries would have been a really late in coming

    Like heliocentricism, for example? Oh, wait.. wrong way round, the church battled that one for 300 years, finally pardoning Galileo for his 'crimes' in 1992.

    How about evolution.. oh, wait, no.. the fundamentalists and literalists won't have any of that.

    Okay, how about something really simple - the lightning conductor. Oh, no, wait.. churches originally considered lightning conductors blasphemy as they attempted to counter god's will - some went as far as to blame them for earthquakes.
