This is unacceptable. America is founded on freedom of religion, and non-religion should get just as much respect.
Nice going, you wrinkly old redneck prunes. Go hold your damn book in the air while you do everything it says not to.

So if you aren’t aware of a religion you have no authority? When I was born I wasn’t even aware of christianity or religion what so ever!

How is this a stupid law? One cannot be considered trustworthy if they cannot themselves believe in God and His truth.
