Tonight Megyn Kelly (The Kelly File) has a guy from American Atheists on regarding the stupid ruling today that a Christian Cross (a section of steel I beams that resembles a cross) pulled from the wreckage of the World Trade Center and later installed in the memorial there is allowed and does not violate the separation of Church and State.
Despite the stunningly obvious fact that this “cross” is clearly a religious shrine in a public memorial, Ms. Kelly apparently refuses to see this as a problem even when the Atheist rep points out that Jews, Muslims, and yes even Atheists also died there on 9/11, the only religion represented at the memorial is Christianity with this cross.
No surprise there. But what really gets me going is the way she’s speaking to the Atheist she has on the program. She’s treating him with such contempt and condescension it’s infuriating. She speaks down to him like he’s a child even though he’s the only one offering any common sense reasoning in the matter.
The hubris of Christians when they speak to atheists on any matter like this is maddening. Even the way these Fox anchors say the word atheist - dripping with contempt like they are saying “pedophile” or “rapist”. It’s simply disgusting.
Fox News keeps beating this drum of the media waging a “War On Christianity” while they wage this “War On Atheists”.
