I understand the whole idea of "seperation of church and state", but it just seems like to me that really means "seperation of Christianity and state".

Why? Because many federal buildings have public statues/art/plaques that feature Greek/Roman gods and goddesses. Why aren't these pagan symbols removed as well?
And as someone mentioned earlier, what about "In God we trust?" on currency? Or after Sept. 11th, the many posters that hung in federal buildings/offices with a picture of the flag with the words "God Bless America"? Why was there no outcry to remove those signs then?

My whole point is that the seperation of church and state argument should apply to all religious symbols on all federal gov't - related items or buildings.
