Death to France!

[notyoueither]

I call that agnostic. I do think that atheism has all the trappings of a religion. Protestant at that.

Yep, but the word "agnostique" is barely used in France, and as such, the word "athée" is better tranlated in English as "agnostic" than as "atheist".

We have quite a few people strongly opposed to the power of the Church ("anticléricaux"), but there are less people who actively deny religion, and basically believe in the inexistence of God. Anyway, these guys have much less visibility than in the US.

Protestant at that.

The horror!

That does not prove anything at all Charles, Benazir Buttho being a political leader has an interest in wearing the veil. It is certainly a good plan to bet on tradition when you are following a political carreer in Pakistan.

I would be interested in knowing the definition of "religion" and "atheism" in an english and an american reference dictionnary... any volunteer.

I meet her when I was doing some work for the local Mc Gornver camp in 1972 and she was wearing the traditson Hijab dress and headscarf and someone call after her useing her name Benazir. She must have being around 18 to 20 year old at that time. She is kind of short in height.

You have your modrate religion like most Cath, Lutheran,
most Merth who donot want any religion to domanlate the local,state,federal government. They support the hight court desison on no prayer in school or teaching of religion in school unless all the world religions have the same right to do so and you must allow then do so. In the beginning some of then didnot like court ruleing untril they realisz it protect they childern who attend public school from being forcely convert to than other religion by than treacher, principal or any other school officate. Then you have your Christian Fundie who donot
like the court ruleing at all, they want the public school to be use to forcely convert student of other religion. Student are allow to wear religish items.

The worst one are the atheism as they want than Godless state something our founding father didnot want. They take every opp to try to destory religious belief by ant mean.

Than Christian fundie ministry got in touble with than local Shief and DA for handing out leaflet urgering Fundie male teenager to rape local muslim woman. First this sick is he trying to start than religious war in the local comminuntry. If any muslim woman was rape by than fundie teenager the church can be held criminal and civil liable for it and the ministry would have being arrest for rape also under the consureity law for urgering that criminal act.

There is no system of tenants, no devotion, no conscientiousness, and no faith in Atheism... hence it is not a religion.

But people need to categorize
