re:Are you saying the veterans are atheists?

Yeah - that's what I was saying - cute, most veterans are not anymore atheist than the population at large which poll after poll shows the majority express some belief in a god.

It was two atheists from your link -

They are atheists but they're not veterans. The veterans are moving the cross across the street onto private land. What is the big deal? Fundamentalists in San Diego are making trouble because they want to and not because there is not an equitable solution at hand. In violation of the courts and two years of history, they want it the way they want it.

Since 1989 - that seems pretty zealous to me. <g>

Only because it was determined by the conservative courts in San Diego that it was in violation of the separation of church and state. That decision has been appealed at least twice.
