Christianity in America has enjoyed, in violation of the First Amendment, preeminent and preferential status. Christian organizations have not done this simply by their numbers, which is precisely the kind of exploitation by a majority the First Amendment was designed to protect against, but because of their flagrant and successful attempts at insinuating themselves into politics and the legislative process. The fact that Christian organizations and churches have become overtly political organizations and political action committees, while enjoying tax exempt status, only compounds the affront to the American people and their Constitution.

It is not Christianity that is crucifying the constitution. It is radical nuts using it to pursue an agenda. I am a Christian who would like to see churches taxed like a business the moment they push politics into their pulpit. That is one of the reasons I stopped going to church, most of them are about money and politics, along with extremely upscale amenity based facilities. Not sure why that should be tax exempt.
The ‘Catholic League’, as well as ‘In God We Trust’, have made their contempt for the American Constitution, and specifically the First Amendment, abundantly clear. Their demand for continued supremacy and political power, coupled with their intolerance of views or beliefs opposing or divergent to their own, has fueled a debate about their continued preferential status and treatment. In statements earlier this week (1), both Bishop Council Nedd and Bill Donohue, leaders, respectively, of the organizations, criticized and insulted both the White House, including President Obama and his administration, as well as the Secular Coalition of America, for having a non-binding, non-policy making, conversation. The mere attendance at the White House of non-Christian, non-religious, representatives of an organization, was too much for them to accept.

more "news" from a blog.. seriously, this is getting really old and not giving you much crediblity. It's also becoming more diffcult to not call a spade a spade, or in this case, a..... never mind
edit- BTW, the actual source is newsjunkiepost.com. That's a really freaking excellent source for everything you ever needed to know if I ever heard of one..
Well, when Atheists and Agnostics figure out a message that resonates with billions of people worldwide over many centuries, then maybe they'll have the capital to affect policy. But, to date, Atheist dreams are about as empty as their message. Write your own "Book of Nothingness" and get it into production as soon as possible. Billions of people 4,000 years from now depend on you.

No surprise here. The only credible news source for you is Fox. Instead of attacking a valid source why don't you try to counter what the article has to say? Because you can't.

I guess we try to explain things though proven science instead of made up myths!

Joey, give it a rest, will ya? "In violation of the First Amendment"? How so? Do you even know what the First Amendment says or what it means?
Who was the First Amendment addressed to? Congress. "Congress shall make no law..." Read it.
You obviously do not understand it. Do you understand plain English?
I think you need some education.
