Atheists Should Leave America?

One gas station owner here in South Carolina has a digital readout on all of his pumps that says "One nation under god. If you don't like it, LEAVE!" Sadly, it isn't the first time we've heard this. Many Americans also want immigrants and gays to leave as well.

What is with my state? Just last month, we had a woman hang and burn a dog because it chewed her bible. It really pissed me off and I started a petition because I fear that she is going to receive undeserved lenience. I've heard people around here say things like "what if god really did tell her to do it?". I can't help but think she will be sentenced with the same delusion in mind. The ignorance here amazes me. Btw, if you haven't signed my petition, here is the link http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/woman-hangs-and-burns-dog/

Back to the subject. Christians really believe that they run this country. It is aparent that they want atheists out of it. How can we show them that this is not a Christian nation? We have quoted statements from our founding fathers, we have argued about separation of church and state, we have rejected creationism in our classrooms, and Obama has even stated on several occasions that this is not a Christian Nation. What else can we do to convince Christians that this is a country for everyone?

Even then, you're only good if your Christian, and worse: you're only good if you belong to "our church" and practice "our ways."

In all seriousness, we should challenge them to shut them up, and when they turn to violence reveal them to the world for what they really are: the farthest thing from from what they profess as their faith and practice in life. Far too many people (and I am speaking mostly of the Christians) claim a belief in one thing, but their actions dictate another entirely set of beliefs that are far from the pretty little scripture passages they enjoy quoting to others.
