Atheists want to take the 10 Commandments from public buildings, prayer from schools, and “Under God” from the Pledge of Allegiance. Why don they respect my beliefs instead of forcing theirs on me?
The objecting to public promotion of religion is not meant to force beliefs on anyone: it’s meant to stop the forcing of beliefs on others. The Christian religion is just one of many beliefs shared by the people of the world and government endorsement of one belief over others shows preference for that belief over others.
