    Strange answers from those open minded free thinking atheist who have no bad feelings towards Christians or any believers, never want them persecuted and never would persecute them and believe themselves above all Christians in intelligence.

    I wonder, what is it to you that there are believers...oh yeah...to stay out of your government. I guess the Christians do not have a government or freedom of speech or religion...is that right???

    We will pray for you.

    Man cannot eliminate religion without fully and completely eliminating himself. Religion comes from man and people revert and convert to various religions all the time. A government that eliminated religion would not last.

    So, we will never be free of religion.

    About as close as we were 6,000 years ago. Religion is innate in all people thanks to the Light of Christ. All people, in all parts of the world, have an innate desire to worship a higher power. However these are all false religions unless God reveals to men. Either God reveals Himself or He remains unknown. While most religions are sincere they are nonetheless false if God did not call their leaders and endow them with His priesthood authority and continuous revelation.

    I think that within the next 100 -150 years enough scientific evidence will be found to render religion useless (especially in regards to the creation of human life), but there will probably still be people who deny that science afterwards, but not a whole lot.

    Religion will never be eliminated.

    Everyone needs a faith.. To believe in something.

    Bill of Rights

    Amendment I

    Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

    Well since religion is generally an inward expression I doubt it. And if the government ever bans it, I think that would only make it grow stronger. Our forefathers never intended for the government to institute religion but they also never intended for the government to ban it either.

    You can try to hide it, but you can not eliminate it. I would not want to be around when religion is eliminated because that would be the point that the devil has taken over and rapture begins.

    Getting closer every day as people start to learn that their fantasies aren't something they should be living their lives by. Science is showing them fact and many people can't handle it.

    Governments are only trying to make sure that no one is favored (well for the most part).

    Its human beings that will eventually end it one way or another.
