Charlie Daniels’ Soapbox

Country music artist Charlie Daniels writes about atheists.

Michael Newdow is at it again. Remember him? He's the avowed atheist who wants to take God's name out of The Pledge of Allegiance, off our money and any place else it appears.

If you look at this issue using cowboy logic, if atheists don't believe there is a God, why do they care where his name appears? Atheists by their very supposed beliefs claim they don't believe in religion.

Just what in the name of Sam Hill is atheism, if not a religion? It's a belief, a choice concerning the deity, whether pro or con, so what atheists are doing is trying to force their religion on everybody else.

Here's what it boils down to:

If we deny God His rightful place in the affairs of this nation should we expect Him to intervene when we need protection? Just what do you think has kept us safe from terrorist attacks since 9/11? It certainly wasn't the atheists.
