Trying to make this a Christian country? This country was created TO get away from the Church of England and insure that this government did not interfere with religious freedom. And people like you come along and try and put their beliefs over all others - atheism.

This country was created WITH God as mentioned over and over in the Declaration of Independence. That is a fact.
You are trying to change this government. No one is telling you to worship anything - yet you are telling others they cannot mention God in public buildings, on and on. Who are you to overrule the majority - who are you to impose your views on others?

Just because you do not believe does not mean that all others in the world are willing to change how this country was formed to "make you comfortable". You have the choice to believe what you wish. You do not have the choice to take beliefs away from others.

You totally do not understand the bases of a religiously free country. In a religiously free country governments can not indorse or promote any single religion. Putting religious icons in government buildings is indorseing that one religion over another. Why do you feel so insecure about your religion if it doesn't appear on a government building. Why can't you let the government be nuetral about religion? Why does that bother you and the religious right so much? The only reason I can think of is that you wish to indoctrinate people into that particular religion. To make it the official religion of the country, and that I am against.
