I must have missed it, but what was the atheists name who was excluded? Let me add one more thing on the BS/atheist controversy. How did the BS discover that a kid or whoever was an atheist? Was the person objecting to something in the pledge or criticizing those who were "believers?" Without knowing the "specific" details, let me say that the attitudes of atheists, such as yourself, are not religiously-neutral. Many of you have an agenda that demonizes those of faith and are just as intolerant as those you see as true believers.
Canada, in their attempt to be a religiously neutral government wants to ban the Bible. Is that a neutral position on religion...or a hostile one? As I said, your fascination with secularism is only breeding the same intolerance and prejudice that you accuse others of harboring. And why do you keep bringing up the "inquisitions" in 21st America? Can't you defend the "discrimination" that has been leveled at those of who have religious beliefs. They're not out to get you...but I can see you're out to get them.

I only know what I read on the forum from the San Diego papers. It's been several months, though, so I don't remember any names. Sorry.

I just want to get it out of government. You'd think church, home, and Sunday school would be adequate venues for worship.
Paul's (?) admonition about praying out of doors could be seen
as hostile to religion, too, under your lights.
