I Am Full Of Controversial Thoughts

I believe in the separation of church and state. If your religious beliefs impinge on the rights of other humans, I do not want that anywhere near the laws of my country. If you would like to believe in inequality then do it in private.

i agree, but the we are faced with people who believe it is their duty, within their own organised belief system, to establish a religious state, be that islamic, hindu, or fundamentalist christian. This state will be intolerant of dissenting views, and will persecute those who follow them.

At the core of fundamentalism is the absolute conviction that one is right and that god is on one's side. Non believers have no status, no value, within this system. It is the ultimate "Us and no one else".
