Rising atheism in America puts 'religious right on the defensive' | World news | The Observer: Well, I think these folks are half right. I think Christianity is on the defensive as the predominant, ruling faith of this country. And for some folks, the words "Christianity" and "religion" seem to be synonymous. They're really not, though. And I have to disagree with the idea that the answer to Christianity's desire to force itself on everyone, is to remove all vestiges of religion from the country completely. What is needed here is true freedom of religion, which includes the right for people to be religionless if they so desire. This means that at some point, Christian politicians and atheist ones alike have to realize that they must separate their spiritual beliefs (or lack thereof) from their political agendas.
