Have you ever thought of judging people by what they do, rather
than what they profess to believe?
In the last Federal election in Oz I voted for the mild
atheist, the other major party had a professional Christian
as their leader, but their beliefs wasn't the basis for my
vote, it was their policies. The Catholic has previously
declared "Climate Change is Crap", and is a reactionary,
(eg runs a fear campaign on 2000 boat refugees, when previous
PM's including one from his party) took in up to 20,000 in
the wake of the Vietnam war with none of the current hysteria).
The atheist is our first woman PM, has a government cobbled
together with independents to get a slim majority, and is not doing
well in the polls.
We have been a multicultural, multi-ethnic, multi-faith society
for a long time and it seems to work.
The major parties have gay MP's, and most people don't
pay much attention to religious affiliation, or lack of it.
We can't pretend there is no racism, the indigenous,
who only gained the right to own property
and have a bank account in living memory,
are still economically disadvantaged,
with the resulting alcohol and drug problems.
I've invited doornocking Mormon's and JW's
in for a chat, after all the Mormon's are guests
in my country, and it's hospitable to make them
welcome when they are far from home.
In both cases we got on fine, they were polite,
and friendly, and we agreed to disagree. ;-)
JW's have my respect because they were staunch in
WWII Europe, and thus ended up in the death camps
with the Jews, when many others went quiet to survive.
Frankly I find the JW theology to be simplistic, and the
Mormon's .. well clearly Jesus had to visit the States
if he hadn't been born there! B^]
But they have better family values than Bikie gangs and
the permanently drugged.

So as a member of Brutal Atheist Animals Without Agape,
you support the policy of killing theists, including
genocide of men, women and children:

Not satisfied with murder, Steve favours the GENOCIDE
of 1,600,000 Muslim men, women and children for believing
in different God's to Dawkin's:

I couldn't possibly vote for people who spout such vile hate speech,
and apparently neither can most people, including a majority
of Americans;
# Atheists Identified as America’s Most Distrusted Minority"
# - American Sociological Association, ASA NEWS
#
# "A survey by sociologists at the University of Minnesota
# found that atheists are “America’s most distrusted minority.”
#
# "From a telephone sampling of more than 2,000 households,
# university researchers found that Americans rate atheists
# below Muslims, recent immigrants, gays and lesbians and
# other minority groups in “sharing their vision of
# American society.”
#
# Atheists are also the minority group most Americans are
# least willing to allow their children to marry.
#
# Even though atheists are few in number, not formally
# organized and relatively hard to publicly identify,
# they are seen as a threat to the American way of life
# by a large portion of the American public.
#
# Many of the study’s respondents associated atheism with
# an array of moral indiscretions ranging from criminal
# behavior to rampant materialism and cultural elitism.
#
# Edgell believes a fear of moral decline and resulting
# social disorder is behind the findings.
# “Americans believe they share more than rules and
# procedures with their fellow citizens—they share an
# understanding of right and wrong,” she said. “Our
# findings seem to rest on a view of atheists as
# self-interested individuals who are not concerned
# with the common good.”
