Zealotry of any kind is annoying at best, and dangerous at worst. See: leftist zealotry. Same can be said for religious zealotry.
I was a hardcore atheist back in my 20s as well. Separation, getting rid of all forms of religion and religious symbolism on government property and currency, that sort of thing. Well now I know how wrong I was as I see the effects of the population losing religion and faith on a large scale and it frightens me more than the fear of some theocracy ever did.
The prospect of losing it isn't the scary part to me it's the fact that people need to fill the void left by it and they choose even more insane ideologies atleast christianity has evolved to be palatable in the modern world but I still dislike all forms of it. The biggest hypocrites I've ever met besides libtards have been christians. Like I said I don't care what you do at home but government making policies based on a magic book is not the way forward to me. The only defining feature that matters to me is that you're american
That you're a fellow citizen who has the same rights and rules as I. I don't care about your fucking kids your family or your church it's not my problem I only have to look out for myself and those I care about and you do the same

Filling the void with government (as is the plan) is what's scary, yes.
Yup completely against it
What does that mean in practice?
That you're a fellow citizen who has the same rights and rules as I. I don't care about your fucking kids your family or your church it's not my problem I only have to look out for myself and those I care about and you do the same
Paper citizenship, then? So it could just as easily be Mexican, or Canadian, or Chinese, or any other government as long as the papers are the same.
