And what is this "atheist agenda?"
Specifically?

As to same-sex marriage, it used to be a "minority," namely blacks and
whites getting married.
And in Loving Vs. Virginia, looks at this:

The trial judge in the case, Leon Bazile, echoing Johann Friedrich
Blumenbach's 18th-century interpretation of race, proclaimed that

"Almighty God created the races white, black, yellow, malay and red, and
he placed them on separate continents. And but for the interference with
his arrangement there would be no cause for such marriages. The fact
that he separated the races shows that he did not intend for the races
to mix."

Just substitute male or female for "races" and you'll have the same
stupid argument.

And you know absolutely diddly squat about socialism.
All you do is spout right-wing talking points from Rush, Coulter, Fox
"news" and the Sludge Misreport.

"Are We All Socialists Now?" That was the plaintive title of a panel
discussion at the recent Conservative Political Action Conference in
Washington. The word "socialist" is being heard all over America these
days as the federal government takes over banks, tells automakers what
to do and tightens regulations in an effort to pull our economy out of
its current tailspin. The label is not generally intended as a
compliment. To many Americans, socialism means being governed by the
government - suffocating under layers of bureaucracy that sop up tax
dollars and smother individual initiative.

And that's the positive view. Some critics carelessly lump socialism
together with anarchism or even communism. After invoking the "s" word
at the recent conservative conference, former Arkansas Gov. Mike
Huckabee said, "Lenin and Stalin would love this stuff." He conveniently
forgot, or perhaps never knew, that most American socialists were sworn
enemies of Soviet Communism.

The view from Milwaukee is radically different. I'm not a socialist and
never have been, but I can testify that Socialism - with a capital "S"-
was one of the best things that ever happened to this city. Without
realizing it, even the most red-blooded capitalists are enjoying the
fruits of their efforts, from spacious parks to clean streets and from a
working infrastructure to an expectation, however frequently
disappointed, of honest government.

Before the Socialists took charge, Milwaukee was just as corrupt as
Chicago at its worst. Our mayor at the turn of the 20th century was
David Rose, a political prince of darkness who allowed prostitution,
gambling dens, all-night saloons and influence-peddling to flourish on
his watch. Grand juries returned 276 indictments against public
officials of the Rose era. "All the Time Rosy" escaped prosecution
himself, but district attorney (and future governor) Francis McGovern
called him "the self-elected, self-appointed attorney general of crime
in this community."

....

After years in the political sewer, Milwaukee became, under "sewer
Socialists" Seidel, Hoan and Zeidler, a model of civic virtue. Time
Magazine called Milwaukee "perhaps the best-governed city in the U.S."
in 1936.

....

As it came to life in Milwaukee, the Socialist movement had a moral
gravity and a passion for results that still resonate in our civic life.
Honesty, efficiency, creativity, frugality? If that's Socialism, let's
bring it back tomorrow.
