This. My wife's an atheist and most folks don't even know it. She's gone to mass with me, she used to go to a Baptist church in her home town just to be social, but she never got the whole God thing.
Folks should also not be so hot to blame atheists for not wanting religious displays paid for on the public dime.
Publicly paid for religious displays could very well be the camel's nose under the tent in terms of religious-government participation. Never in the history of the world has a partnership between religion and government worked out very well at all, least of all in a country like ours.
Best to keep the secular and holy separated--and when someone crosses the line, sue.
