No atheists showed up. Instead of a dialogue, there was just a monologue.

Kevin Craig is the Libertarian Party nominee for the U.S. House of Representatives in Missouri's 7th District, running against the Minority Whip, Roy Blunt. His campaign motto is "Liberty Under God."
Kevin Craig is one of the most radical libertarians running for any office. Some libertarians have expressed concern over the fact that Kevin Craig is an "anarchist." He completely rejects the idea of using government compulsion or coercion to accomplish any social or personal goal.
But Kevin Craig is also a Christian, and opposes the modern secular myth of "separation of church and state." The phrase no longer refers to "churches," or as "the Father of the Constitution" James Madison often called them, "ecclesiastical bodies." The real meaning of the modern phrase is actually "the separation of God and State." Kevin Craig believes that any government which will not acknowledge itself to be under God is a government that believes it is God.
Some atheists in Southwest Missouri are urging voters to vote for tyrants, despots, and corrupt career politicians rather than vote for the Libertarian Party nominee, Kevin Craig, solely because Craig believes America should be a Christian nation.
A Virtual "Round Table"

A group calling itself "Americans United for Separation of Church and State" claims that James Dobson of Focus on the Family "SEEKS A FUNDAMENTALIST THEOCRACY."
Doesn't that sound frightening?
In fact, all Dr. Dobson wants is what America's Founding Fathers wanted: children in public schools should be taught that the Declaration of Independence is really true, and what it teaches is really true:
• God exists.
• Our rights are the product of Intelligent Design.
If the teaching of these ideas creates a "fundamentalist theocracy," then America is clearly a "fundamentalist theocracy," because the foundational charters of this nation endorse and promote those ideas.
Kevin Craig believes that America's Founding Fathers opposed "ecclesiocracy" (government by priests and clergy) but not "Theocracy" (government by God). The Signers of the Declaration of Independence and the Framers of the Constitution would have unanimously opposed the modern version of "the Separation of Church and State" as promoted by the ACLU and "Americans United for Separation of Church and State."
Kevin Craig studied law and passed the California Bar Exam, but was denied a license to practice by the same court which held that students in public schools should not be permitted to say the words "under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance. Details here.
