Woman Kills Babies Because God Told Her To
"Nope. Nothing to do with religion. Just one lone nut...er, differently mentalized person."

Planned Parenthood Bombed By Xian Fundamentalists
"Nope. Nothing to do with religion. Simply a political disagreement."

Vatican Works Against Gay Rights Around The World
"Nope. Nothing to do with religion. Sincerely held personal beliefs about human sexuality."

Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris Debate Religion
"WAAAH! Vicious attack on innocent religious believers!"

I also noticed this from the OKey-Dokey Attorney General: "In defending the Ten Commandments display, my office argued the monument was lawfully permitted on Capitol grounds because of the historical significance of the text on the development of Western legal code."

Huh? One T. Jefferson studied that question extensively back in the 18th century, and concluded that the Ten Commandments had NO effect on the "Western legal code" as adopted in the USA. IIRC, Jefferson concluded that U.S. law evolved from British common law, which existed when Britain was still pagan and nobody there had ever heard of a Xian.
