Is it attempting to restrict your freedoms, or attempting to protect themselves from restrictions on their freedoms?
As Benevolent Heretic pointed out, one of the women was Jewish. Not exactly a communistic atheist....
I wonder how you'd feel if you were in the religious minority and faced with constant reminders of that...

evangelical militant atheists.
Evangelical
of or according to the teaching of the gospel or the Christian religion.
Militant
combative and aggressive in support of a political or social cause
Atheist
a person who disbelieves or lacks belief in the existence of God or gods.
Calling someone an evangelical militant atheist makes no f**king sense, WHATSOEVER. It only serves to prove what an imbecile the person saying it is.
secret, are you incapable of reading the constitution.
please do so and find for me the words
"Separation of church and state"
its purpose and effect are to acknowledge religious leaders and the institutions they represent, rather than to exclude or coerce

How the f$%^ is government acknowledging religious leaders and institutions not establishing religion?!
The is massively unconstitutional, and to be more blunt, idiotic. The Bush supreme court is the worst in the history of the nation and an embarrassment. They can't even comprehend a straightforward section of the constitution.
They should all be impeached, if that's possible.

Fighting over religion is like fighting over who has the better imaginary friend.
Most of our founding fathers were deists and abhored religion in all its forms. You should read up on your history.

Good decision and I support it. When things become one sided then we should take a step back and remember why the white man left Europe.... one of the reasons was freedom of religion.....not rule out religion.

Would you support this as much as you do if it was only Muslim prayers before the meetings?

As far as those songs go, the words don't bother me. What does
bother me, though, is your attitude. Your gloating is immature
and bordering on pathetic.
For me, Christianity isn't the problem, but Mr.Holier than Thou-
I'm better than you-I'm going to Heaven and you're going Straight
to Hell-HaHa!! and Mrs. Determined to Witness Knocking on my door at 9 am.
who won't take a polite no for an answer.....those aspects of
the religion are what irritate me.
I really hate to say it, but attitudes like yours are in direct opposition
of what your bible says. A little birdie named Proverbs 24:17 told me so.
You seem to loathe non-Christians. Out of curiosity, if there was a time when
'Atheists either conform to Christianity, or be put to death' and majority vote won,
would you vote yea or nay? If it were up to you, what would you do with all the
atheists in the US?

If you want the constitution to remain as it is then you MUST ALLOW ...
the free exercise of religion
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
First Amendment to the United States Constitution
So the people of Greece township MAY assemble peaceably and MAY freely exercise their religion by saying prayers to start council meetings with.
Now since you don't want that then you do NOT want the constitution to remain as it is and therefor you want an amendment made.
