"They will whether you like it or not. I don't want the state influencing or sanctioning the beliefs of anybody. " The trend is toward neutrality, as it should be. There is no reason the state need be involved with religion. If your religion is worth anything, it will stand on its own outside the statehouse and not in it. If your religion is so weak that it cannot survive not having symbols of itself plastered on the walls of courthouses, then it will die. But that's not going to be the case. Christians are not under attack, they are in fact simply a paranoid majority. Somehow, even though the majority of people in this country claim to be Christian and the REAL prejudice in this country is against agnostics and atheists, Christians carry their crosses around as if they were really under assault. The only assault against Christians is an attempt to keep you from foisting your religion on everyone else. Not much of an assault- simply an effort to get Christians to be more polite and less pushy- and it's about time.
