Damn atheists!

Absurd. This was a sarcastic thread started by an atheist.

It was a joke. I am the thread starter.

The following is a response to lonesoldier1:

First of all, please watch your language. Most people here are capable of having a relaxed debate.

Its not an assumption that children of religious people are forced into their parent's religion. That is why I don't believe in the term Christian child, I prefer to call them children of Christian parents.

Parents have the right to raise their children however they want in the United States of America, doesn't mean they are doing it right.

Exactly. You are a Christian not because of you want to be good but because of the benefits and fear they promise you.

What I am trying to prove(When I states that the most religious American states are the most violent) is that Christians are not "moral" because of their religion. Christians are only "moral" when they think they are being judged. When they think they can get away with things, they try to. Another example is that usually when there are power outages besides the poor, religious states have a higher chance of joining in the riots, proving my previous point.

Christians have imposed their beliefs on the world for nearly 2000 years. At first that religion began as a small belief some Jewish tribes in the Middle East had. It soon became the main religion in the Roman empire and then it spread into other branches like Catholicsm. These Christians created theocracies, and armies. They killed the non-believers for not being Christians. They try to convert people all the time. Besides physical ways of imposing their beliefs on us they have forced their way into the American government, which is suppose to be SECULAR. They try to change laws and try to add religious objects in public space to spread and be proud in their ancient beliefs.
