Ted, Exactly, that is what freedom of religion means......you are free to practice or not practice as you see fit.

You forgot to add "as long as you don't 'impose' your religion on others." Of course, that all depends on what your definition of "impose" is.

Seems like secularists are doing their best to impose their views upon the public sector, including forcing all hint of religion out of government. This way, they can force out all opposition that is based on one's faith, because in the eyes of the secularists, a faith-based argument would inevitably violate the "establishment" clause of the 1st Amendment.

See where this is headed? If not, just take a look at France and their move to ban Muslim headscarves from the classroom.

The cross shouldn't have been there in the first place.

Who gets to decide that? You?

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights..."

Then by analogy, Thomas Jefferson's "Creator" shouldn't have been there in the first place (July 4, 1776).
