I really don't see any problem with it, it's a historically significant marker that will be preserved for generations to come. I mean, come on if we eliminated all references to the Bible and fundamental Christian values and symbols from all American History, you'd have to burn the Constitution, replace our three branch, and bicameral legislature government with a new one. We would have to deny the fact that a good portion of the Founding Fathers ever existed, and besides, this doesn't establish a national religion, which is what Separation of Church and State protects us from, as well as protecting the Church from being persecuted by the State (whether it be a Christian Church, Jewish Synagogue, Muslim Mosque, etc. etc.) which was really what Thomas Jefferson meant by the phrase.
Lynn said that if Revere were alive today, he would "ride around the country, saying your tax dollars are being abused and warning that the church-state separation wall has just seen another crack."
What the hell? Revere was a well known member of the church, he's more likely to applaud the move. Anyways, that's my two cents.
