now, the country is very diverse. very very diverse.
if the state allows one religion to publish it's materials on state grounds, it should give the same opportunity for all others (also for atheistic works).

1) Atheism is not a religion, It is a belief in nothing, so no it shouldn't have the same opportunity as ANY religion.
Time for my Lion King/ Pride Rock theory, I just thought of this but it makes sense (I am still ironing out some of the details).
Mufasa is America in its Greatness, He believes in the circle of life which is how he governs his land, I will equate that to Christianity, because that is what our country was founded on, it was our base.
Next we have the evil scar which I will equate to the religion hating quasi-liberal facists.
We have Simba. He falls under ," If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything". Simba represents the American people who are afraid to stand up to the Quasi-Liberal facists for fear of being deemed non-pc or "intolerant".
This is where the theory comes into play. Scar killed Mufasa and has scared Simba off, this is the point we are coming to in the country right now. Pride Rock which was America is falling into turmoil, cause Scar fucked up what made us great, our respect for the circle of life. Simba hasn't met Timon and Pumba yet so he hasn't worked up the balls to kick Scar's ass yet, but I guarentee he will.
I like it, what do you guys think?
