Atheists, by law, cannot hold public office or testify in court in Arkansas. <http://everything2.com/index.pl?node_id=1203320> There are five other states that in their constitutions specifically disallow Atheists from holding public office.

Your "oppressed" argument has more than a few holes in it. > We're supposed to turn a blind eye to > schools teaching our children, by example and reference, that things > such as premarital sex and gender bending are things that they are > supposed to do?
