This nation was founded on strong belief in secularism and freedom of expression, whether you happen to be Buddhist, Satanic, or even a Scientologist(lo-fuckin-l).

I am essentially atheist, still working it out, but I really don't give two shits whether or not we get a holiday. I'd prefer getting Christmas presents, it's much more satisfying. The only thing I would like to see is TOLERANCE for our beliefs.
Ah, I learned something, thanks. Thats why I put in there "hope I'm right". I was unsure of the complete explanation, then in school of course you are spoon fed stuff, lol. That's why I could never understand slavery and abuse of another human. Which FURTHER let me question religion as a whole. Having an uncle who is a pastor makes for interesting family events.

Research time!
