It's quite difficult to deny that 'ardent' atheists are anything less than very very bent on attempting to remove any and all mention of God and christianity from the public sphere, from textbooks, from signage, from monuments, from insignias, from history, from anything essentially, that they can get their hands on and claim lack of separation of church and state (whether the claim be true or not). So, though 'world domination', as in a quest for power and rule, may not be fully within their sights or grasp, and even I would say that that is highly unlikely, one cannot overlook the fact that their efforts are an obvious attempt to dominate opinion in places and force many times a minority opinion upon the majority of others, even if that includes denying history and ancestry and long standing much loved traditions.
I agree that some very public atheists are actually what I call anti-theists. They take things too far.
Whereas prayer has been removed from schools and other places to assuage atheists...
Incorrect, both children and teachers can pray in school if they want and it doesn't interrupt class. They just can't force other people to pray or be part of a group prayer.
You wouldn't want a Muslim teacher to ask your children to pray to Allah, so a Muslim parent shouldn't have to worry about his children being forced to pray to God in the name of Christ.
...whereas the pledge of allegiance has been removed from schools and other places because the word God was contained therein, whereas poorly informed and poorly educated civil servants have in places denied the rights of Christians to pray, to speak, to assemble and so forth.
What school has removed the pledge of allegiance?
If your child has been stopped from praying or speaking about God, then you have a right to protest to the school board. If the praying or speaking about God was disruptive (praying loudly during a math test...etc), then the teacher has the obligation to stop it.
Do you have an example of Christians being denied the right of assembly?
The call by atheists to remove the mention of God from all things everywhere is far more a violation of the civil rights of those who disagree with them than it is a violation of the civil rights of atheists to permit long standing beliefs and traditions to continue, since it is not required of atheists to partake in those beliefs.
Then you wouldn't be bothered by a judge putting up the 4 Noble Truths and the Eightfold Path of Buddhism in his courtroom?
Yet atheists do attempt to force non-atheists to partake in their beliefs, by removing or forbidding mention of anything which opposes their beliefs, and even using the school system to teach and indoctrinate their beliefs while forbidding the teaching of opposing beliefs.
How does the teaching of "their beliefs" force you to partake in them?
And they have used and do use the public arena, within the school system as an example, to attempt to dominate opinion and belief. Whether or not 'world domination' is part of their agenda is questionable, but neither can it be left out of the equation due to the proof that already exists concerning their efforts at local and even higher levels.
Then you believe that atheists should be prevented from entering the political process?
Is that just atheists or all non Christians?
Mixed in with that however is the teaching of many other ideas which have rushed in to fill the gap left by the removal of Christian based beliefs, in America and Europe especially.
Then you believe that the US should be a Christian theocracy?
It is the natural inclination of humanity to ask of and ponder their origins. And a vacuum is created in this area through the efforts of atheists, with no forethought whatsoever as to the future implications of what will possibly fill that void or what beomes of that void in the human heart and mind. Where an answer once existed or was given as a choice or a possibilty, even in all of it's imperfections as to the suitability of all persons, it is now seen as forbidden by many due to the efforts of atheists who have taught others falsely concerning the rights of others to believe and even concerning what they believe.
Are you saying that atheists have taught that people don't have the right to believe what they want? Please provide a quote by an atheist that substantiates this.
Unless you are saying that atheists falsely teach that people do have the right to believe what they want. Then I have to ask why you think people don't have the right to believe what they want.
It is preferable, by many examples, by atheists to enable the teaching of superstion and mysticism than to permit the mention of the name Jesus. There is very much to be said about their agenda, because it does not appear to be fully oppossed to the teaching of spirituality altogether. It is however, ardently opposed to the teaching of Christian beliefs.
Since there are many examples, please provide one example where atheists advocated the teaching other superstitions while opposing the teaching of Christian beliefs.
