It is much like adding "one nation under God" to our pledge or "in God we trust" to our money. What ever happened to separation of church and state?

I have to say my family was lucky b/c my parents walked away from church a long time ago - they allowed us to explore what we thought was the right path for us, but in knowing that i still grew up seeing far more Christian injection than non Christian.
Church and state are supposed to be seperate but unfortunately, our gov. fuks that up along with almost every other thing they attempt.

My mother, a christian, also allowed me freedom to think for myself and find my own beliefs and to live life with a truly open mind.

i think ppl that have faith in religion, whether it be any religion, are at the very least partially blind to the truth and to having the ability to look at things unbiased and outside the box. Most believers have been so conditioned that they're faith is right they completely ignore and dismiss any type of oposing point of view or idea. With that ignorant mindset how can one educate oneself and truly embark on a quest to educate oneself?

btw paul, I met you @ the audi meet, nice to start putting some faces with names.
