My daughter is in the lawsuit because you need that for standing.

I was considering running for political office.

But in America, if you're an atheist, you lose.

Those who deny the existence of a supreme being have been turned into second-class citizens by a government that continuously sends messages that 'real Americans' believe in God.

I feel like I am not an American in the eyes of my government because of their religious beliefs. I think that is un-American.

I brought this case because I am an atheist and this offends me, and I have the right to bring up my daughter without God being imposed into her life by her schoolteachers.

A lot of God-loving people think that killing people who don't agree with them is OK.

I think the Constitution has been upheld. I think they made the right decision.

I don't think people understand - atheists are really a disenfranchised minority in this country. There are six constitutions right now - state constitutions - that say things like what South Carolina says that, No person who denies the existence of a supreme being shall hold any office under this Constitution.

A federal judge did as he was supposed to do and upheld the Constitution. We should be thankful that we have judiciary that will do that.

This issue is whether or not our government should be infusing religion into the public schools. Our churches are very strong in this nation and I think that's great and everybody should have the ability to worship as he or she sees fit. I choose to worship not believing in God and government should not thrust a religious idea down my throat.

I choose to worship not believing in God and government should not thrust a religious idea down my throat.

There's a principle here and I'm hoping the court will uphold this principle so that we can finally go back and have every American want to stand up, face the flag, place their hand over their heart and pledge to one nation, indivisible, not divided by religion, with liberty and justice for all.

I believe in the Constitution. The Constitution says that government isn't supposed to be infusing religion into our society, and so I asked to have that upheld.

Government needs to stay out of the religion business altogether.

Most people I know I think agree and even many theists agree with this. We don't want government involved.

I have numerous people who have expressed a willingness to be plaintiffs.
