This thread is a bunch of people complaining that a religious country doesn't trust non religious people. It's akin to an American who flies to France and complains that nobody speaks English. You personify the typical "ugly American" who thinks everyone is obligated to agree with you because you're more important…

Your bolded text is complete non sequitur to the thread. Atheists can run for office just like anyone else can. They just aren't electable, like anyone else who holds unpopular views. Certainly you can understand that you don't have Constitutional protection from people not liking you. You have protection from…

You're free to dispute anything I said. But we both know you can't. Bitching that a religious nation isn't trusting of atheists is beyond stupid.

And claiming that a point you can't dispute is "trolling" is another platitude of this site. Whether you like it or not, the majority of Americans are at least slightly religious. Whether you like it or not, the majority of voting Americans are not trusting of atheists. Whether you like it or not, this isn't a…

Domination? I'm an atheist. I'm just not a moron.

No, you do not have a Constitutional right to have people like you. Sorry. Hurt feelings are not a Constitutional violation.

Ignorant? Ignorant is whining that a fairly religious nation views non religious people in an untrusting way. It's like atheists are trying to become the newest protected class, or something.

Many thanks for the myriad of suggestions.

Whining that "Waaaahhhh most Americans don't trust an atheist to lead them" isn't forcing anything on anyone, is it. You're free to be an atheist, but you're not free from the way people perceive you for it. If you want to be an atheist, fine. But don't act surprised when a country of overwhelmingly religious folks…

This has absolutely zero to do with the first amendment. You want to adopt a view that most Americans obviously don't agree with? That's fine, go right ahead and do that. People not liking or trusting you for it does not violate your first amendment rights in any way whatsoever. The government isn't coming after…

Because most of the time proving that the two had intercourse is impossible much less whether or not it was forced. Combine that with the sheer amount of women who think having sex with a guy and then regretting it later counts as "rape," which is why the one police officer said he gets 20 bullshit cases for one…

Atheists are funny. Demand that you be left alone, then demand that everyone accepts your decision.

Not letting women drive is one of the few things Muslims get right.

Americans don't want diesel cars. Perceptions die really goddamn hard in this country, and when you mentioned "diesel" people either think of a truck, or a smokey clackety hard to start car from the 1970s. Then there's the problem with getting diesel fuel, which is a catch 22 in and of itself. A lot of stations…

Hmm, I haven't had a prescription drug in sixteen years, what are some alternative containers?

Include the fountain pen with royal purple ink.

At least he actually DID something, unlike a certain president who won a Nobel Prize with zero accomplishments to his name.

I did purchasing for a small chain of liquor stores, and we took special orders. A guy requested I track down a Puerto Rican beer for him. No problem. I was talking to one of my suppliers, and he said I had to get in touch with the importer. Importer. I asked him why I would need to IMPORT a DOMESTIC beer, and he…

What the hell do guac burgers have to do with Republicans?

The left blasts McCain for his age and then whines about being being critical of Hillary for the exact same thing? Typical.
