I mean there aren't a whole lot of atheists in the US.
The guy who used to term "wall of separation" to describe the relationship between the church and the state? Yeah, I'm sure he'd just be thrilled with what you want.
Depends entirely on context. If I paid for it, yeah it's a violation. If it's a government endorsement, yeah, it's a violation.
It's certainly discrimination. Christians are going to dearly regret trying to place their religious expression in the way of full social equality for LGBT people.
No disagreement there.
A ridiculous legal guise...meaning the First Amendment?
You aren't entitled to my respect, nor is your religion, and you clearly don't respect my religious perspective. I respect your right to practice it as you see fit, within the bounds to the law, and ask that you respect my rights and the rights of others who don't believe as you do.
Atheists would sue the moon if we were Muslims
I guess that was a stroke of genius on the part of Muslims to make their icon something that occurs in nature. Maybe we can sue fishes, though....
Atheists would sue the moon if we were Muslims
I would prefer atheists over Muslims. Atheists do not enter in on the religious spectrum, they are outside it. Muslims are the natural enemies of Christians, as history demonstrates.

So are atheists. USSR, Red China, Cambodia, N. Korea...
Just because most commies are Atheist doesn't mean that all Atheists are commies.
Yeah, the same guy who authorized church services at the Capitol building. The guy who would laugh a person suing a school for having a Jesus portrait, claiming it causes 'irreparable harm to mental health'.
Freedom of expression is part of the Constitution, not that you ever actually tried to account for anything that doesn't serve your atheist agenda.
'Discrimination' would be if the baker didn't serve them period. A specific service due to their religious beliefs is entirely different, and you all have done nothing except try to force your OWN DISCRIMINATE BIAS on Christians.
The 1st Amendment mans nobody can force you into religion. The 'ridiculous legal guise' is the cheap tactics and intimidation, which is thankfully about to change now that people have gotten tired of it :thumb:
He supported those services because they were voluntary and nondiscriminatory. Whereas a portrayal of Jesus generally would not be.

Yes. And if there were a legitimate lose of religious expression, there might be a case to make.
That's silly and arbitrary. It's discrimination if you refuse a service that you'd offer to anyone else.
That's part of it. But it's a badly truncated understanding.
People have gotten tired of the Constitution???

Their atheism was ultimately the justification for their murders.
