    Atheists need to stop knocking on doors spreading our “truth” and having tax-exempt organizations dedicated to atheism that have influential political action committees. We need to stop printing “in atheism we trust” on all US currency and saying “one nation, under atheism” in the pledge of allegiance. We will also stop insisting that everyone who disagrees with us will be sentenced to eternal damnation

    Scientology is not a conservative religion. Neither is universal Unitarianism

    I see that the truth within that meme hit close to home with some…

    Sorry, but atheism is not a religion.

    but they are tax exempt. i don't think my intention was to list all of the worlds conservative religions, merely to note that the founders seem to have had a very limited definition of "religion. "

    Separation of church and state requires that churches be tax free and independent of government control. The power to tax is the power to destroy, and government should never have that power over our religious beliefs.

    third try on this one.

    if atheism, secular humanism, and environmentalism are religions, as your meme contends, the tax exemption MUST apply to us as well.

    An atheist organization you describe could organize in a manner to do that. Individuals who are members of such can not just like I can’t be tax exempt as a member of my church.

    Nope, it's a belief that god doesn't exist. And that's it.

    Americans are rejecting "progressives" with Millions of Americans Getting ‘Fresh Starts’ in Free Red States.
    The Blue States don't value Free Americans, so, they are leaving.
