I seem to be detecting a feeling that folks think wanting to remove God from our government is a new idea for lots of us, and we are all excited about it without ever having thought of it before. I'm all excited because it's finally getting talked about by someone other than me. I've been offended by the amount of religion being forced on me by our government for years. Laws against nudity, laws against polygamy, laws agaings homosexuality, laws against drinking on Sunday, laws against taking drugs, laws against various forms of sex between consenting adults, chaplains in Congress, prayer meetings in the Justice Department, official meetings that start with prayers, religious words on our money. What chance is there of anyone beng elected to high office in this country unless they are a professing Christian or Jew?

It's not a new topic, folks. It's just being talked about widely for the first time. I know it will take another 20 cases and 25 years before anything will change, but it's a start.
