As for religion being shoved down your throat, I completely disagree with you on that one, people cant even sing the Christmas Carol in school anymore, its atheism that is being shoved down peoples throats, not religion. When you get imprisoned for being Atheist, that's when religion is going to be shoved down your throat, not now. BY the way I am not a christian or am I religious, its just how I personally see it. I'm all for stem cell research and all that other stuff.<br><b>References : </b><br> Look, the majority of Americans believes in god, this country was founded on the principle of god of course your going to to be seeing religion in society, there is no way around it.

When the President bans stem-cell research and gives tax money to churches for "faith-based initiatives" it goes beyond "freedom" for the average person. I think non-Christians need to organize and have our own lobbyists in Washington. However, how would we do that? You can support Freethought Today, which does lobby Congress. http://www.ffrf.org/fttoday/ Other than that, I have no clue.<br><b>References : </b><br> You are not alone.

Independent of religion, I believe most the major issues that "religion" supposedly brings up would still exist, people would just find other ways to validate them.<br><b>References : </b><br> People use religion and Christianity to accomplish their own goals.

Our right to NOT practice religion seems to cause us nothing but problems by the religious groups. Sadly America in my opinion WILL eventually turn into a Theocracy.<br><b>References : </b><br> Religion seems to be very important to the majority in American and yet the minority us Atheists are treated like second-class citizens.
