As an Atheist, I feel that if my government tried to take away my freedoms (or the freedoms of my countrymen) simply to save my life they are doing a horrific act and I will attempt to resist with all my power. I would rather be blown up by a middle eastern terrorist than have to present an ID card to the police at checkpoints. I would rather be shot than have my country men lose their right to worship as they see fit.
