Posted by: Dan | Dec 20, 2004 5:20:35 PM I am an agnostic. People who declare themselves agnostics or atheists in public opinion surveys are a small minority in the country. No political candidate who says "I am an agnostic" pissed about or even worse "I am an atheist" can win public office in this country, except perhaps in a tiny pissed about handful of ultra-liberal college towns. All my life I have been subjected to subtle and not-so-subtle coercion to pissed about participate in publicly sanctioned religious ceremonies that are an affront to my conscience. My preferences are never consulted; my views are generally regarded as so inconsiderable as to not even merit a polite acknowledgment that they exist. My child has been required to recite a national loyalty oath in school that contains an alien religious creed as a part of it. Every day, I receive numerous social messages to the effect that the majority in this country regards me as a second class citizen.
