The atheist community is no longer for me

I used to be that guy always debating, sharing atheist posts on the various social platforms, calling people out, being a firebrand, criticizing Christians all the time, etc. I see now how embarrassing and regrettable it was. I now see the atheist community for what it is: a group of miserable people who wish to protest everything. A Christian cannot so much as say "I'm Christian" publicly without atheists running to the courts to stop them from doing it. I can't believe I was ever on that side honestly. It's embarrassing. The idea of religion being a huge problem is blown grotesquely out of proportion by atheists.

And to be honest. I'm fine with the US being a considered a Christian nation. It is as far as I'm concerned. It was predominantly Christians who made this country what it is. Christianity served heavily as the foundation for many of its values (yes, I'm aware of the Enlightenment and the treaty of Tripoli). Still, it was Christians doing what they believed their faith was telling them that formed the foundation for this country. The first pioneers who made their way to this country did what they believe God was compelling them to do. So Christianity is definitely the predominant religion in this country both in terms of population and heritage. I think it should be given much more respect than it gets these days.

I'm just getting tired of hyper-secularism and hyper-liberalism that seems to coincide with the atheist community. I can't bear to read another Freedom From Religion Foundation post where they're taking another school to court because some teacher had a Bible verse written on her desk or something. I also can't stand this crap about trying to force private businesses to go against their personal morals. It just shows point blank the bitterness and hatred that is in the hearts of many atheists. Why does everything have to be a cause for opposition and protest? Why is everything bigotry and a breach of church-state separation? This is a Christian nation based on Christian heritage and principles, and it always will be, so get over it.

Btw, I'm as atheist as it gets.
