I think much of the problem stems from the fact that there are too many people in the U.S. who believe that the only source of morality comes from Christianity. It's not the Christianity, necessarily, that they want on the currency, the pledge, and the license plates so much as it is the morality. Is it not?
The atheistic humanists aren't making enough progress, apparently. How are the grassroots?
