We don't want the government to support Christianity. We want the government to leave us the hell alone. The 1st amendment guaranties or freedom of religion, not freedom from religion, got it?
If you were really for freedom of religion then you would undertand if you can put a bible statue in front of a court house then you also have to have a Koran statue and a dianetics statue and on and on and on and on.
This is why NO ONE religion is allowed to be picked out and honored by our government at any level.
Now if the fight was people were always trying to put up koran statues or Muhamed statues then you would be fighting that one too.
But its YOUR religion so you think its fine.
Remember how you reacted to a mosque in down town NY?
Duh? No. All religions should be allowed to worship and honor their beliefs. including atheism.
As for the Mosque, there are a thousand choices of real estate in NYC on which I would have absolutely no problem with an Islamic house of worship.
In this case, given the sensitivity of the site, I and others viewed the building of a Mosque incredibly insensitive.
Atheism is not a religion..and there is already a mosque close to the site.
