One of the things that strikes me about the bulk of these people is that they always make these claims on the basis that what is legal, is by default, right and just... This is the mindset of the collectivist, who believes that rights come from the government, the Constitution or some similar secularist origin...
Below is a scenario aimed specifically at our secular humanist members... read the scenario and provide for us your reactions...
The Scenario: This morning you awoke to find that the government has determined that Atheists do not have a right to life; that they are to be killed on sight or for those unable to do so, they're to be turned into the gov't for summary execution.
There US Supreme Court, the Federal Legislature and most state governments were decimated by 9:00 am by the more heads up citizens who realized that there were four humanist on the SCOTUS and the Congress and Senate were indeed target rich environments... So a speedy appeal is NOT looking good.
Since you believe that what is legal is right and just and that government determines the scope of human and civil rights, you're without a right to life and presumed persona non grata.
You walk over to the kitchen counter to fix a cup of coffee to clear your head and you see your neighbor seeing you... he's armed and walking your way...
What's your next move? OH... and why?

Your scenario as far fetched as it is; is an everyman for himself scenario. Who's an atheist, how do you know? What happened to the government that you say is decimated by 9:00am? This is an impossible scenario that could only occur in your mind. The answer would be Kill or be killed!
Here’s a more realistic scenario. Your government is populated with like minded individuals who lean in one direction; typically the opposite way that the country believes in. They then begin to win every Electoral contest and on the state and federal side begin to place people who also are in lock step with the ruling parties Ideology. You now have a government that is ruled by one party (even if it’s not apparent) and dictates the modern day agenda to the masses that do not agree with their views. What should the American people do? What would you do? The Revolution will not be televised. It will be spun as Al Qaeda in America! American insurgents! ALI: American Liberation insurgents. (Like that I used the name ALI). This scenario was on the verge of happening until the Dems took back the congress and nearly took back the senate.
Karma will come around and claim the Real evil doers !
