[edit] State atheism opposes religion?
Shouldn't this be called "State irreligiosity" or something? I'd think State atheism would be the State's opposition to holding a belief in any gods, not opposition to religion (lacking religion = irreligious; lacking belief is any gods = atheism). --AlexJohnc3 (talk) 18:41, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
- If the concept was being named anew, maybe "State Atheism" might not be the chosen term. However, "State Atheism" does have an established meaning, and it is as described on the page. Sometimes the language is not as precise as we would like. Never mind, eh? --Dannyno 09:43, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
- I thought that was the case... oh well. --AlexJohnc3 (talk) 19:57, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
