    Accept or deny, and it is more likely theres a God than someone holding someone else verbally hostage.

    Do what you do? Act like a complete fool who can't hold a conversation with another human being.

    It is an abuse of Human Rights and rights under the constitution!

    In the United States, atheism is protected under the First Amendment's Free Exercise Clause. In August 2005, in a case where a prison inmate was blocked by prison officials from creating an inmate group to study and discuss atheism, the court ruled this violated the inmate's rights under the First Amendment's Free Exercise Clause. The United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit affirmed previous Supreme Court precedent by ruling atheism be afforded equal protection with religions under the 1st amendment.

    Clearly setting out that atheism is NOT a religion but IS afforded the same protection as a religion under the constitution!

    Anything near what you describe should be reported to the police!

    In person, you mean? I thank them at first, but tell them politely that I'm not interested. If they persist, I tell them I already have a religion, and that Satan would be really mad if I left him.
