Atheist Hypocrisy and the Assault on 
Religious Liberty
AtkKr5eY23ApGPlGUcNuaVCaOf7KRXu1fQ_EKo3JBLJkNKVIdytG42bV56HTc0CWlvOTiV3dBjxL8HdVT1bBmQGLfAbyFyWXuaQKTDhgXDfoVPgY9JqfZus9jhQ3fNU=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=?width=500by Caroline Camden Lewis:  Knowing the perils of disease, shipwreck and discomfort, the Pilgrims boarded the Mayflower in search of one thing: religious liberty. While many died on the voyage, and half of those who made it here died in the first winter, they knew that their lives were but “stepping stones” for the next generation’s freedom to practice Christianity. Their journey had taken them from an underground church in Scrooby, England, to an escape in Holland. However, as Holland’s secular society began corroding the hearts and minds of their children, they realized that a voyage to the New World was worth the risk. The Plymouth landing in 1620 stands as one of the earliest pieces of our country’s quest for religious liberty.

          Today, almost 400 years later, the United States has become an increasingly difficult place for a Christian to work, be educated, and to serve his or her country. This has happened despite the statement found in the First Amendment of the Bill of Rights: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.”
           In fact, First Liberty Institute’s 2017 report notes that in the past five years, documented attacks on religious freedom have increased 133%. In the past year, attacks have increased 15%. These attacks take place across broad sectors of the public arena — education, religious institutions and the U.S. military.
          A case from the public arena, Barton v. Balch Springs, involved a Texas senior center in which city officials told the senior citizens that they could not pray before meals, listen to messages with religious content, or sing gospel music because public buildings do not allow religion. The senior citizens filed a lawsuit, and the government officials threatened to take away their meals if they won because praying over meals paid for by the government violated the “separation of church and state.”
          IPounds v. Katy I.S.D., a school district in the Houston area banned religious Christmas items and religiously themed Valentine’s Day cards. School officials told one student that she could not answer the question “What does Easter mean to you?” with “Jesus.” A federal court ultimately ruled against Katy I.S.D. for its hostility to religion and for violating the student’s constitutional rights.
          ISterling v. United States, Montifa Sterling, a Marine Corps lance corporal, placed three notes in her cubicle that referred to the Bible verse: “No weapon formed against you shall prosper” (Isaiah 54:17). While her supervisor allowed the other service members to display personal items, he ordered Sterling to remove the notes. Sterling believed that her First Amendment rights protected her ability to post the notes, so when she found them in the trash the following day, she reposted them. As a result, Lance Corporal Sterling was court-martialed. The highest U.S. military court, the Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces, believed the note to be minor and thus unworthy of religious protection. First Liberty Institute is appealing the case to the U.S. Supreme Court.
          These examples, a small selection of more than 1,400 documented  incidents, illustrate the direct assault on the constitutional rights of Americans. A combination of misinformation among the populous and lobbying efforts by atheist groups such as the Freedom from Religion Foundation, the American Humanist Association and the American Atheists have resulted in prayers being banned, Ten Commandments displays being made illegal and veterans memorials with crosses being torn down or moved.
          The American Atheists claim to not be a religion, yet require equal representation of their “non-religion” at interfaith events and councils. Additionally, college campuses routinely list humanists, secularist, free-thinkers and agnostics among other religious groups. They claim to believe in nothing, but in fact believe in a lack of belief and have faith in a lack of faith.
          Atheists claim that Christians force their religion on others. Yet atheistic secularism has been forcing students, military personnel, ministers and workers to adhere to their lack of belief standards or suffer the consequences. Far from learning to “coexist,” as many bumper stickers advertise, atheist lobby groups seek nothing less than to persecute and destroy all religions except their own lack of one. Their rejection of religion is their religion and their unrelenting desire to “convert” the rest of us is unconstitutional, intolerant and wrong.
          In terms of the quest to totally eradicate religion, the Soviet Union at least communicated its objectives honestly: to destroy religion and establish an atheist, secular state. A state church or a state “non-church” both qualify as an establishment of a religious state. Are atheist lobbyists, then, not the greatest offenders of their own unconstitutional demands of others?
          The Pilgrims came here for religious freedom, not freedom from religion imposed on them by atheist lobby groups. The right to “not be offended” does not outweigh the right to practice one’s religion. Ironically, people rarely ask Christians if it offends them to have their child told he cannot pray. Christians have a right to believe in God, just as much as atheists have a right to believe in nothing. The assault on religious liberty only gains victory if people of faith choose fear over courage. As Ronald Reagan stated, “Evil is powerless if the good are unafraid.” While courage may cost social standing, job mobility or favor among others, ultimately standing tall in the face of evil gives others courage and reminds us of our purpose: to do the right thing, despite the consequences.

{rickwells.us} ~ NBC Leftist Matt Lauer was given the interview with Bill O’Reilly marking six months since he had been ousted from his position with Fox News... Lauer starts the interview by asking, “What was the exact reason you were given or your representatives were given by people at Fox News for your firing?” O’Reilly replied that there was no reason, that the network had a contractual clause that they could pay him a certain amount of money and not put him on the air, which they exercised. He cited a sponsor boycott as the motivation for them exercising that clause...  https://rickwells.us/bill-oreilly-reveals-fox-news/

{greatamericandaily.com} ~ Senator RINO-John McCain (R-AZ) seems to have made it his goal to anger as many conservatives as possible. He has constantly attacked President Trump, and worked against his agenda time and time again... And the latest thing he did may be his worst attack yet, and it’s sure to anger both President Trump and the military community. President Trump’s announced ban on transgender soldiers was applauded by conservatives across the country. Senator RINO-John McCain has made his disagreement extremely vocal, sending out a press release immediately following the ban announcement expressing his anger, and intention to fight it... http://greatamericandaily.com/john-mccain-just-betrayed-trump-and-the-military-in-one-day/

{rickwells.us} ~ Just one day after California Governor Jerry Brown compared supporters of President Trump to cave dwellers, he told the United Nations the U.S. is not run by Trump... Speaking at a UN round table event on Tuesday, the Democrat vowed to fight climate change despite Trump’s stand on the issue. “America is not run by Donald Trump. Even California is not run by Jerry Brown,” he said. “We are a country of diverse power centers and mobilizing those power centers that are not controlled by the president is still a very worthwhile goal and very powerful.”...Brown is a liberal jerk.  https://rickwells.us/gov-brown-un-america-not-run-donald-trump/

Americans Want Funding to the UN Reduced
AKOPk3X3qpKfPGEy4eUytq5GAl_0N4oxCfOjFuGm5S8NDj9vKFx4zdRA5oe40g9Z8TWI2eWgXL-E16tXp62X_P_U3qZw_e5XHitC5Q33GehC5eo2Hrd-HKvqMyZnmIxPeKRKYUf6jBAwgqm71FiAQrj7yyib0YGh3VTRdEmpGdQ2uHSDwwZgnJ5ZjbI=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=?width=500

{townhall.com} ~ The 71st annual United Nations General Assembly is well underway in New York City. President Trump spoke in the chamber yesterday, in addition to a number of other world leaders. 

But according to new polling, half of Americans believe taxpayer funding to the international body should be reduced. 

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 50% of Likely U.S. Voters favor a major cutback in how much money the United States gives to the UN. Thirty-three percent (33%) are opposed, while 17% are undecided.

During his address Tuesday, President Trump called on all nations to do more in order to make good on U.S. investment. 

"The United States is one out of 193 countries in the United Nations, and yet we pay 22 percent of the entire budget and more.  In fact, we pay far more than anybody realizes," he said. "The United States bears an unfair cost burden, but, to be fair, if it could actually accomplish all of its stated goals, especially the goal of peace, this investment would easily be well worth it."

On the campaign trail, Trump repeatedly threatened to pull UN funding.
