Do you guys have to use the kentay font?

No

And you, RWE, do not hold an American position.  THIS is the American position:




You must have over-looked the line, "yearning to be free" It doesn't say yearning to take other people's money and bash their religious beliefs.
It would be impossible to bash your religious beliefs if they held true; since they don't I get ticked off when people want my children raised in a society where philosophy is based on nonsense. Leave the religion for those that want it but don't try and force it on others!


You are confusing a religious nation with this nation that gives you the right to choose any belief system, free of government interference, free of a national religion, and free of adverse repercussions.  You also have the liberty to choose not to belief in a religion, higher being, or a creator.  Free of government interference.  You are free to teach your children these beliefs.


Not sure what your gripe is other than a severe ignorance of what it means to have religious liberty in this country.

My gripe is ignorance peddled as liberty.
If there truly was religious freedom you would have the Scientology Tone Scale beside the Ten commandments next to the Pillar of Islam.
Pretending you have freedom from religion while permitting some schools not to teach subjects for which there is evidence (evolution), while insisting on teaching subjects for which there is no evidence (creationism) is not education and not religious freedom but brainwashing. (Texas etc.)

There is no "atheist" creation myth, atheists come from all different schools and have only one thing in common, they reject one more God than you do!


Your ignorance of the concept of the US Constitution is also on display.  Each individual state, under the constitution, has the right to determine it's needs and wants thru the true democratic process of state and local elections, ballot initiatives and propositions.  We are a REPUBLIC of 50 individual states.  Texas is a prefect example of what this country is about and our liberties in this respect.  So is California which is a mindset more of your liking.  Or New York.  You have the liberty to choose what state to live in based on issues.  Not a one size fits all solution for 350 million people.


Instead of forcing that one size fits all solution you have the freedom to move to a state that better suits your desires.

But there we differ markedly; I do not believe any society has the right to lie to their children. Telling children there is real evidence for any God or doctrine is a lie.
