Amen and amen PJ, being an american means one is free to worship any God of his/her choice, or to worship no God at all. It was the intent of the founders that the Government never impose a state religion on the people which is what they fled from in England.
Unfortunately, the atheists will pervert and reinterpret that truth to mean that God has no place in the public psyche at all. They intend to erase Him from ever being mentioned or acknowledged as our creator and God. That goes against everything the founders stood for.
Back in the 1800s when the schools in the US were growing faster than text books could be supplied, CONGRESS had 10,000 BIBLES printed up and distributed to the public schools so the students would have books to learn from. Does that sound like they feared invoking God in a public forum or setting? Heaven forbid. But just last week, a school principle was arrested for saying grace at a school luncheon. Our founders are turning over in their graves as I write this post.
And one more thing which neeRAB to be pointed out. The poll at the start of this thread is offensive in that it has no category in response to the question for "NONE", which would have been my choice. As it is I couldn't vote in that poll as it stanRAB.
