United States Congress. And the ACLU, along with other like-minded groups, would celebrate a Newdow victory. It would give them tremendous momentum in the mission to remove God altogether from the American scene. If Dr. Newdow wins this case, it will only lead to the loss of even more religious liberties for our children and grandchildren.

I simply don't understand the theists in this country. The first constitutional amendment is very clear: 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. The word god in our pledge and money is respecting religion. He is fighting for the very respected document, the constitution. Anyone who opposes Michael Newdow opposes the first constitutional amendment. Leandro Freethinker http://www.freethoughtnews.com These days, Americans aren’t the sharpest tool in the shed.

Maybe this is because you know that no one will interpret your vitroil as "elitist" (as trite and irrelevant a term as "liberal activist judge" or "gay agenda"), since unsupportable polemics come across not as condescending but as the brainchildren of unqualified dullards.

Are you really so narrow-minded that you think people who haven't been cursed with irrational world views have "nothing to believe in"? Do you honestly think that supernatural overlords are all that's available to put hope in, and that earthly concerns aren't important? Are you truly incapable of seeing how untenable that premise is, and how much it resembles a comment such as "You don't like baseball? Must be awful to have no athletes or sports teams to root for." If this is really where you're coming from, Zeus help you. You've been brainwashed quite well and a part of my extends a measure of pity in your direction, because you didn't ask to be treated so badly. “Just as you illustrate what an elitist snob you are, thinking you are better for having nothing to believe in.”

It seems to me that he simply thinks that Christians -- a large subsety of whom are renowned for constantly trying to force their superstitious and benighted views regarding health care, social policy, etc. on progressive America -- deserve a taste of their own medicine. It's great to see them react so harshly, because it just reinforces what a bunch of worthless, backward, undereducated, special-treatment-demanding whiners they too often are.
