Absolutely right. In fact, the camel's nose is already in the tent, and we need to root it out, not let the first hump into the tent. Religion has gotten into government in so many ways. But what can you expect when the federal legislature starts every morning off with prayer? When public libraries spend tax monies buying religious books? When the mint prints "In God we Trust" on every coin? It's past time to root this religion stuff out of every aspect of government. If Georgia can get rid of the confederate flag, the federal government can take God off of our money.

Agreed, we don't want the gov forcing any kind of beliefs down anyone's throats-religious or otherwise, or discriminating against anyone for any belief or non-belief ,or anything else for that matter. Nor do we want the constitution violated at all--the gov should make no law establishing religion. My experience is from Germany and France which for all practical purposes are unreligious, as I think this country will become. There is no hysteria about it on either side that I could detect. I think this country will get there, when it is no longer politicized. But if you see such forcings we should definitely stand up together and holler. Regards, unknown agnostic friend.
