Johnson said allowing the cross in the memorial would "insult the victims, rescue workers, and other Americans who are not Christians, who do not believe in a deity, and are not religious."

I’m not religious, and it doesn’t offend me in the least.

It is Johnson and these ligitious athetists who are insulting. To the memories of the victims, their families and to God.

How many of the 343 firemen who died on September 11th 2001 were athiests? How many were Roman Catholics? Nuff said.

Is a symbol representing the different religions of all those killed, planned to be erected also? If not, why?

That's like saying "If we have the American flag, we must also have all the flags".

The cross was not erected. It was just there during the cleanup of ground zero.

Because this was and is a CHRISTIAN nation. Deal with it or get out.

The American Atheists, which was begun by renowned anti-Christian activist Madalyn Murray O'Hare before she died

I wonder if O'hare is an atheist now.

The obvious solution to this is to give the atheists their own symbol to display.

A hole encircled by sphincter muscle comes to mind...

Then why isn't everyone a Christian?

I’d imagine if there’s going to be one there’s going to be a bunch.

If not, why?

If any are excluded, I would guess it’s because the religious group chose not to participate.

I don’t think the atheists have a symbol. Besides, memorials to the dead are kind of incongruous to the atheist ethos.

No, because no legitimate symbol exists.

Because we are a tolerant people and force no one to come to God.

Because the Muslim idol wasn't found standing upright at the bottom of the rubble of the World Trade Center? The firefighters who wept for 15 minutes after finding it knew it was a message

No she's just dead and trying to convince God He doesn't exist.
