Well, it doesn't take much knowledge of Christianity to know that the first few of the Ten Commandments deal with idolatry, and atheism is a form of that. So atheism breaks one of the Ten, as do stealing, and adultery. In short, they are sins.Are you for real? Why on earth would you group atheists with homosexuals, adulters, drug abusers, drug dealers, theives, and crooks.
Your ignorance is shining bright.

Please explain how atheism is idolatry?

If congress decides Civil Law should be consistent with Old Testament law, then the nation will have purity before God. If congress decides Civil Law will not be consistent with God's Law, then the nation will be judged by God.
First you have 're-education' camps. Then you have public executions for multiple offenders as some examples. Standard fascist doctrine.But seriously though, if the nation is to be under the Purity of God's Law, then how, theoretically, would you enforce it for the millions of people, presumably who would be in violation of the laws?
There would probably be literally millions of people who would be in violation - how to round up, and punish them all?
Mass gassings? Mass public burning and hangings?
What's your recommendation of the most practical way to deal with literally millions of wrongdoers, under God's law?
you can do what they DO do! which is suppression. Simple, social suppression, either through misrepresentation by the state, or fiscally taxing the offendors. Forms of social sabotage.But seriously though, if the nation is to be under the Purity of God's Law, then how, theoretically, would you enforce it for the millions of people, presumably who would be in violation of the laws?

Flynmonkie quote
Know what? With this sort of "preaching" I'm all for government crack down on it. In fact, thanks to you, I get to sit in my history, ethics, and political science classes defending the fact that not all Christians are extremist, elitist, judgmental, rude, and brainless morons.

If you use the Bible in your defense, the defense will be easy.
The power of Christians is not in the Christian, but God and the Bible.

I'm having Images of the Taliban's notorious "Department for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice".Maybe what we need is a Cabinet level Department of Christian Ethics to advise the president and congress on good and evil. The Department of Christian Ethics could develop programs that would prevent evil from becoming a treat to society where Civil Law would have to be used.
Amen.Little wonder, then, that the Christian Right's reliance upon its narrow interpretation of the Scriptures, and their failure to apply Jesus' command to love their fellow man, manages to drive so many away from Christ.
Alas for you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You shut the kingdom of heaven in men's faces. You yourselves do not enter, nor will you let those enter who are trying to. Alas for you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You travel over land and sea to win a single convert, and when he becomes one, you make him twice as much a son of hell as you are. -Matthew 23:13-15.

There is no need for "Mass gassings? Mass public burning and hangings?". There are very few things that represent an immediate threat to society that would require execution under Civil Law.
...but I thought you wanted us all to be under "Gods Law"?
