Well, I can understand your point if you're a atheist. In your country
(America) I feel there's a lot of atheism going on. America isn't
quite ready for this. Although I am a Catholic, and wish to convert
many, If you're an atheist it is your Legal right to be so, and thus
wishing for the removal of the word God, and the ten commandments is
all legal. With this I have no qualms, I don't think God minds if you
remove the ten commandments from the courts, because the constitution
of almost any country abides by the Law of God (with the exception of
the first 2). Also I don't think God likes it very much, if you say
his name without actually believing in it. However Christian feel that
they're losing their right of religious freedom by giving in too much
to atheism (which is protected by law) and atheist feel that finally
after many years of oppresion they have had enough of christian
teachings shoved down their throats. What needs to addressed, is that
the laws and constitution need to re-evaluated and the language change
to specifically state the freedom of religion or lack thereof.
Christians who act almost militantly in defending their religion are
wrong, furthermore atheist or proponents of atheism who want all forms
of christianity (which has been the backbone of american values) wiped
out from their society ; are doing themselves no favors either.
Atheist and Christians need to be moderate in their requests,
moderation is the key before a very serious rift emerges between them.
Trying to aggresively promote your way of thinking only stregthens the
resolve of your opponents to be more aggresive.
