More evidence a God had nothing to do with life on earth (blood, experience)

And you have people who want anything that can be remotely religious not be viewable in public at all. Like I said, it works both ways.

I haven’t met a single person who matches that description.

Plenty of people (including many who describe themselves as religious) are opposed to religious displays on publicly owned property.

If someone wants to erect a “Jesus Saves” billboard by the highway, I don’t particularly care. If someone wants to do the same thing on the lawn of my Township’s municipal building, that’s a far different issue.

And I havent met a child molester or a murderer but I know that they exist. Just because you have not met them doesnt mean they arent out there.

I never claimed that no such person exists. After all, it’s a big wide world. But I would bet dollars to donuts that they’re extremely few and far between.

There is a difference between not wanting Christians to break laws and Christians trying to drag the US back to the middle ages.

I don't think that's true at all.

Religion has its place. Keep it in its place.

Drag back to the Middle Ages in what way?

You know someone is losing an argument when they have to go to such extreme positions are bringing child moslestation into a discussion that has nothing to do with that topic.

What place is that?

In the home. In church. In your thought processes. In reasonable behavior that does nothing to foist your religion on others.

I don't do anything publicly in my life that foists my belief in Buddhism and atheism on others. I don't mind seeing churches with their flashing billboards as I drive along streets and highways. I don't mind seeing a church picnic at a public park. But I do mind seeing religious symbolism making a statement on public property...property that belongs to me as much as anyone else.
