| Message | Someone has to explain to me why religion needs to be banned in order for us to have freedom from it. This is a democracy, and a thoughtful one at that. A strong majority of our citizens are agnostic/atheists, and many others are non religious. This legislation hinders free thought (even if it is foolish thought) and we shouldn't be afraid of free though, in fact democracy and the march to communism depends upon it. |
