What they ARE (secretly) worried about is Jesus and his proclamation that he will return to reclaim those that have believed in him. So, rather than believe in him, they defile him. What better way to show your allegiance to "Freedom of Religion" than to openly claim that you have none? Going out in a blaze of glory is appealing to those types. The last laugh will be on them.
What the United States is founded in clearly defined in the Constitution

If you want to practice Christianity, then knock yourself out. Your right to do so is protected under the First Amendment.

If you want to practice Islam, then knock yourself out. Your right to do so is protected under the First Amendment.

But you don't have the right to stop another person from practicing their religion. That is clearly defined in the First Amendment.

You also don't have the right to impose other people how they should live. That is also clearly defined in the First Amendment.

The problem is many Christians feel they have right to impose their religious beliefs on others in large part because they are the largest religious group in the country.

The other part of the problem is that some Christians somehow believe that they are “More American” than other people based on their religion. There is NO religious component to American citizenship. If more Christian could respect the rights of other Americans no matter what their religious beliefs we wouldn’t have these religious based controversies.

It makes you wonder what is it about growing up in a White Christian household that would make a person so adamantly against Christianity?

Maybe it’s the amount of hypocrisy that they seen?

Most of the people lynching Black Americans in the 19th and 20th century were Christians.

The Bosnians Serbs that killed about 8,000 Bosnian Muslims in Srebrenica. It estimated that Bosnian Serbs killed about 25,000 to 30,000 Bosnian Muslims. The Bosnian Serbs were Christians.

Let’s not fall into the trap of believing that Muslims are the only one’s capable of brutal killings.

I think the Atheist you refer to (anti-theist) are really a newer breed of religious folks that fall in line to protest or support whatever religion they feel will bring them the most attention. In my opinion a lot of liberal folks are "cause shifters" because they rarely show any consistency in their plight. IE; some liberals are "anti-oil" but throw up huge barriers to newer energies.
My point is, for a lot of liberals, damming Christians and exalting Muslims is the fad of the time.
Not all liberals are this way but like conservatives, a few bad apples give the appearance of a spoiler barrel.

FYI, I’m a pro choice, Agnostic conservative.
In most cases liberals are for equal rights for ALL people. Conservatives tend to believe that certain privileged classes exist in a society either based in race, religion or financial wealth and they seek to protect those classes.

Then comparatively speaking most conservatives are tyrants. They would rather impose their beliefs on others by any means necessary including deception, media manipulation and violence than to let people live freely and to respect the rights of others.

I was watching southpark last night, and the episode had a portion where the catholic church was really run by the queen spider, that all the bishops/priests were in favor of pedophelia except the priest from south park, and also st. peters basilica gets destroyed. No death threats.

Draw pictures of mohammed as a teddy bear, get death threats.

There are a lot of conservatives that are reacting to demographic changes in American society with fear, ignornace, hatred and bigotry.

Why is it ok for you lefties to bash us Christians on TV, make fun of Jesus and God, but don't dare do the same to Allah or Muhammad? Why? Someone explain to me
I think they are scared that Muslims will hurt / kill them. Christians just don't suicide bomb .
