The Republican Utopia

Yeah, but for the most part that is what people do.  

Believers try to get you to do what they do and honestly, the people that are even worse, non-believers, because they love telling you how they don't believe and how you shouldn't believe either.  

That is why normal people just don't really discuss faith or no-faith.

I have literally never in my life heard a non believer in just regular life try to convince someone that they should give up faith. I've seen the opposite many times. I have also seen christians protesting at concerts, festivals, bars, funerals, and health care facilities. I've never seen non believers doing anything to stop people from practicing their own religious lives. I can't think of a lot of stuff religion has enforced on everyone else. I have seen christians act like they are being attacked when Starbucks says happy holidays.

Really?  Interesting.

Which are you?

And you are lucky, you must have not hung out with potheads in college.

And Ted Cruz was a debating champ at Princeton. There's no chance he's pure stupid. It's something he has cultivated for political gain, most likely as revenge on the fellow Princeton students who considered him a douchebag, too.

If you mean sitting around getting stoned in college and a stoned roommate questions the mind control practiced by every religion, man, because that's how the church maintains its economic and political power, man, you might have a point. But it's not like your stoned roommate was wrong. Or that you were unlucky to hang out with him. In fact you should check in with him. Always a chance he flamed out, found God, and would love to play Words With Friends with you.

Well, looks like you can cross that off the list of "things you never"

Just look above.

I personally don't believe anymore but no one I work with or interact outside of close friends or my wife would know that. I went to church a lot as a kid and even went to Catholic school for a little while. I think if people believe and they want to celebrate that then they can as much as they want. Religion is helpful to some people and I can appreciate that. It doesn't belong in public schools like they are trying to do here in Texas and have been trying to push for years all over the south for years. It shouldn't be used to make up issues like abortion to keep racists in power, and yes that's inarguably how abortion became and issue in the US. 

As for the poster you pointed out I specifically said in real life. Obviously people on both sides argue over the internet. Look I'm sorry an annoying person talked to you in college, but comparing that to harassing people for getting healthcare, or for having different sexual preferences, or not dressing the way they see fit is not only not comparable it happens so much more often and more aggressively than non believers just saying hey I don't think there is a god to a person who does believe.
