Now the courts are noticing that the separation of church and state in this country is a joke? NOW? It took THIS LONG?
I’m sorry, it just seems silly to go after the Pledge of Allegiance. I mean, who are we fooling? “In God We Trust” appears on everything from the money to the walls of courtrooms. People pledge to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, so help them God. Government offices are closed on Christmas (although not, I believe, the Jewish high holidays. I *think* you can take them off if you’re Jewish, but the offices remain open, thereby indicating that some Gods are More Equal than others.)
I’ve been saying for years that lip service is paid to separation of Church and state, but it’s a little late in the game to start trying to expunge mentions of God from everyday life. It’s simply too ingrained. I feel sorry for Atheists, I suppose, but if Jews can deal with the entire country celebrating the birth of a savior we don’t believe in every year, Atheists can cope with “under God.”
