This really aggravates me. She feels entitled to request you leave off your views because hers, she feels, are the "default" - just as the many heavily xtian sites also feel their views are so natural and so default/the "norm" thaty of course it should be all in our faces. It is, as usual all about the status quo - the same people who support the 10 commandments in public courthouses, and who support sunday/xmas/easter as a day off etc. flip out at the idea that a muslim or jewish holiday should be observed. (The idea of atheist rights is pretty much foreign enough to not even be on the radar, I fear). Pretty much anyone who believes that the emperor is beautifully clothed is going to assume their beliefs are the natural default, and all others are offensive.
