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.

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.

"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."

I disagree, in all of history most reasons one group attacks another is because one group doesn't believe in the same religion as the other, so they see them as a threat to them and their God. True Stalin a Socialist is responsible for 20 million deaths, but most those deaths were not do to promoting socialism, but Stalin's paraniod delusions and intolarence of anyone who didn't see things his way. All the deaths attributed to Hitler could be argued that they are religiously motivated, the Jews, the Gipsies (pagans). But, if you go back through history most conflicts are over religious deferences. What the total number killed throughout history no one really knows, how many were killed in the Crusades,how many christians killed at the hands of Rome, Religious motivations in history is as simple as one group believing they have some devine right, given to them by their God, over another. You have to look at the whole picture why does one group wish to eleminate another in history in most cases it boils down to religious motivation or intolarence of others that don't believe.
