Religion sucks. It's just a movement that makes people feel like they belong to something. Abusing the aspect that most people don't want to be alone.
I am a militant atheist. It is my duty to make everybody that believes in a religion feel like they are absolute idiots. It is my duty to fill their throats with arguments that proves how stupid religion is and how they are equally stupid to believe in it. It is also my duty to insult their beliefs when they discriminate against a group of people.
I will not stand by and do nothing while religion is poisoning the planet I live on. I have no tolerance for beliefs based on fairy tales and prophets.
I have no respect for religious belief of any kind.
I also believe that WW3 should be declared in order to exterminate religions.
Other than that, I'm a pretty tolerant guy

That's freedom of religion. I'm talking about freedom to not be constrained by religious beliefs of others.

Really? I want to be free from going barefoot at the airport.
The reason you and I need our passports to meet secretly is due to religion.

You are free to hire a private pilot and do as you please. Or buy your own plane.

That's just goofy. And the restrictions imposed on general aviation are even worse.

Freedom also includes the right to steal an airplane. But the rule book says its a penalty. Make sure the ref isn't looking
