It's nice that you have such a stronge belief in your religion. I do not believe that an almighty God exist. I am offened by people trying to make this a Christian country. Religions have been the cause of more deaths and wars then any other cause in history. There is no need for it in government, and if all the people in the world would just live and respect others opinions and not try to shove their religion down someone elses throut it would be a peaceful world. Religion does not neccessarily give someone good morals, respect for others and doing the right things for the sake of being civil and human do.

Sorry, but you are mistaken. In the last century alone, more people died because of socialism (national and international) than have ever been killed by religion.

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.
