Fox News host: Atheists 'don't have to live here' – CNN Belief Blog - CNN.com Blogs



Once again, a so-called conservative, who often cloaks herself in the Constitution, suddenly finds the Constitution inconvenient to her religious beliefs, and makes a fool of herself.

She's entitled to her opinion the same way you're entitled to continue your current foolish feigned outrage regardless of how tiresome it has become.

Spend time of stuff that matters and less time on stuff that doesn't such as this.

What a joke.

"If these people don't like it, they don't have to live here," Perino added.

Is this not correct?

In 2002, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals sided with atheist Michael Newdow who argued that the words "under God" in the pledge amounted to an unconstitutional government endorsement of religion. The Supreme Court overturned that ruling.

The Supreme Court has already taken up this issue. The phrase "under God" doesn't endorse any particular religion.

It is the first such case to be tried on the state level: All previous attempts have been argued in federal court on the grounds that "under God" was an unconstitutional violation of the separation of church and state.

These nutbars are still trying to convince people that separation of church and state is in the US Constitution -- specifically the First Amendment. As someone who isn't even a constitutional lawyer, I know that the First Amendment doesn't enumerate the "separation of church and state." It simply means that Congress must remain neutral on the issue.

Athist's are as bad as progressives......Don't like 'under god' in the pledge? Don't recite it then.

But noooooo, that's not good enough, gotta make sure no one says it!

Can't worry about there own beliefs, they gotta worry about others.

Also let me get this straight, you don't want to say it because you don't believe it so in turn you will stop everyone else from having the right to say it when they believe it? I just want to be sure I am understanding the YET AGAIN, we are taking a right away from many to satisfy few. Line up folks, America is for sale to anyone who wants to make it all their own.

It's her right to express her opinion, of course, but it does make all the hype about being "fair and balanced" pretty hollow. Call it what it is. Her expressing an opinion is fine, they hypocrisy is irritating though. This is why I don't watch cable news anymore.

And FWIW, I'm about as atheist as one can get, and I have no issue with "under God", prayer in school, before events, etc. It is what it is, I'm in the minority in a democratic country. As long as it isn't government sponsored, do what you want.

the history of the pledge is interesting to read and see just who is such a fervent supporter of it today. Written by a racist socialist, originally included the nazi salute and under God was inserted to protect us from the evils of secular Communism

sounds perfect for a GOP cause on immigration too

"Where all classes of society merge insensibly into one another every alien immigrant of inferior race may bring corruption to the stock. There are races more or less akin to our own whom we may admit freely and get nothing but advantage by the infusion of their wholesome blood. But there are other races, which we cannot assimilate without lowering our racial standard, which we should be as sacred to us as the sanctity of our homes."

Therein lies the rub. For the vast majority of Christians, we do not think that the duty to proselytize includes forcing our religious beliefs on others, especially via government. Classically, this is in the schools where it ought not be a condition of obtaining a public education that one is required to even listen to religious dogma. Even if it is our own.

But there is a rather intellectually stunted group, whose education apparently ended with making paper mache turkeys in the third grade, who have a simple understanding of the US as a "Christian country" because of the "pilgrims."

The irony of course being that in principle pilgrims came here to escape government religion. And in fact reminds me of a tour of Boston I took, which was great by the way, the Freedom Trail. The guide remarked, to some laughter, that the pilgrims came here to escape religious persecution, whereupon the first thing they did was seek to hang all the Quakers.

Religious freedom includes freedom FROM religion, just as much as it includes the right to practice your religion freely. Government has no role in either.

Absurd. She hasn't and will never be a news reporter on Fox News. She is commentator, nothing more. Unreal...

Nobody on Fox News is a News Reporter. They are a
24-hour-a-day infomercial for the far right that knowingly deceives and distorts news to suit their agenda.
