[QUOTE]Originally posted by The Mighty Monkey of Mim: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Zefram: [qb]I can only think of the days of prayer called for through the centuries by presidents and Congress during times of national emergency (such as when by Nixon called for one when the Apollo 13 crew was in danger), the saying of a prayer prior to the meeting of Congress that has been done since 1776, the essentially unquestioned addition of the phrase "under God" to the Pledge of Allegience in the '50s, the fact that Nativity scenes on public property during Christmas and crosses on public seals were never questioned until the past couple decades or so, frequent ACLU victories in courts limiting public expressions of religion, etc. I'm under the impression that it's [i]your[/i] side that's winning. [/qb][/QUOTE]The population used to be less diverse, like Jason said. Those things aren't so surprising when you're talking about a very dominant Christian demographic. At the time of the country's founding, and excepting for the odd Deist and atheist, all white Europeans were Christian. Since the population is more diverse now, it's no longer acceptable for everything to favor that one religion. [/QB][/QUOTE]
