"What you believe is your business. The secular argument offered here is that the drapes and tokens of those beliefs which are religous have no place in the public corridors espoused or erected by government -- courthouses, congresses, government buildings, currency, national rituals such as the Pledge of ALlegiance, and so on."

Amos, however silly I think what you suggest is, I'm not that offended by it. Look at the original proposal put forward in this thread:

I believe strongly in the separation of religion and state, and believe we need to go to the next level, which to me is to ban religion from participation in the public square.

Have I misunderstood the word participation? Combined with multiple assertions that it's improper for me to support position X or Y because someone else has determined that the only reason to support it is religious (or, worse, as Guest suggests, someone is conservative), what else am I to thinnk? Not only will I be able to acknowledge that my faith (or lack of it) is the reason for my support of a proposition, other people will be able to veto it because THEY conclude I support it for the wrong reason.

Someone is uncomfortable with mentioning what is a relevant factor for 70-80% of the population and wants it removed as a result? There's a word for attitudes like that.
