The United Kingdom is a Christian Nation, we have a State based Religion however I am not forced to do anything such as prayer, go to Church and accept their norms and values - I am just treated as a deviant if I do not.
In the United State's it is very similar - what days do people have off of School? Christmas, Easter, etc this is not the action of a State without a Religion. This is the action of a State with a Religion.
If you look at things like School Holidays, traditional christian values and compare them with the laws of this Nation - they are primarily Christian. Take for example the gay marriage debate.
Like it or not, it is a Nation that grants Christians privilages over those who are not and this is not inline with what the Nation was setup on but was hijacked just like Islam has been, Christianity has been and many other things.

Freedom_For_Sum, sorry about the lateness of response - however, I have been rather busy with external issues [aside from the internet]. But, I will now get back to you on this post.

Non-Religious groups want symbols to be removed due to pointless reasons.

Take for example the issue he raised. If there are Muslim people in the United State’s, who pay tax they can have the right for some of that to go into the education system so they can pray.
They have their churches, temples, mosques, private schools, homes, friends and neighbors. Why must they be allowed to foist their beliefs in a tax-payer-funded venue?
