    I don't as long as you keep it to yourselves and out of civic matters you can believe anything you want.

    Russell Wilson is starting to take heat for his faith now, too. NM he's just fulfilling Make a Wishes, etc.... but Aaron Rodgers has no issues bashing the man's religion.

    I don't think atheists care if you pray to a God. I think they care if you think atheists are immoral for not believing in God.

    quit worrying about what others think.... that's half the problem.... they want to be validated in their beliefs, so they constantly remind us "hey, I'm an atheist"

    Actually as we have proven they seldom remind anyone including you unless asked or relevant


    You backhandedly admitted as much.

    If is people of faith driven to remind others and boast about it.

    You think atheists want validation more than theists?? I'm sorry but that's as far from true as it could possibly be. Atheism is not even a belief but a lack of belief.

    Make sure you understand I didn't say that Tebow prayed just to aggrevate progressives.... the quote tags are screwy and it looks like I said it.

    True that would be Christians again with their mythological war on Christmas.

    When was the last time you had atheists leave non-belief flyers on your car's windshield? When was the last time atheists showed up at your doorstep to talk to you about the virtues of non-belief? When was the last time an atheist refused to do their job because it went against their non-belief?

    I think your question is a bit vague because you didn't define the circumstances. i.e., why would an Atheist be upset by your personal prayers? This leaves a loophole in your question one could fly a 757 through and really doesn't require much thought on the part of Atheists to shoot down your premise.

    IMO a more relevant question is why Atheists object to the expression of private belief on government ground. I would say that Atheism is a belief which requires the absence of God and therefore is naturally expressed every time a religious symbol is missing from the public square.

    - - - Updated - - -

    Atheist intentions are naturally expressed when there is no belief present.
