UNFORTUNATELY, the government has found a way to impose it's beliefs by denying the religeons to have freedom of expression.

Have the America people forgotten the United States of America was founded on Christianity?
Seems to me alot of people have. We have had several cases in court about whether or not it is constitutional to have "God" in the Pledge of Allegiance,
have the 10 Commandments on Display in front of State Court Houses.
It is said that 86% of Americans believe in God. Therefore I have a very hard time understanding why there is such a mess about having the 10 commandments on display or "In God We Trust" on our money and having God in the Pledge of Allegiance. Why don't we just tell the 14% to Sit Down and SHUT UP!!! or go back to their country to live.
the 14 percent need to just Deal With It.
I know we have freedom of religion in this country but know that this country, that lets you praise your own God, was built on Christianity.
That being said, i don't mind seeing the 10 Commamndments on Display

Did you know,
The majority of settlers to this land came here for economic opportunity?
Did you know,
The ORIGINAL pledge of allegiance had NO PHRASE 'Under God' in it?. It was tainted by ignorant religious zealots.
Did you know,
In the constitution there are two clauses about religion?
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion . . ."
"or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;"
If it is my religion to believe there is no God, You have NO constitutional right to prohibit my free exercise thereof. PERIOD.
So AntiPolitrix, DEAL WITH IT!

America was founded on grecco-Roman concepts of the republic.
Freedom of religon, basic human dignity, the right to a fair trial, are not Christian concepts.
