Atheist suing to stop engraving mentioning god on the new govt building in Wash

We are not a democracy. In our country, the will of the majority does not always rule. Now, if engraving 'in God we trust' had been solely the idea of the architect, I wouldn't have a problem with it being there. However, it was decided through congressional resolutions to place it on the building, which is arguably unconstitutional. 'In God we trust' was adopted as a national motto back in the 50's, when we wanted to distance ourselves from those 'godless commies' by showing how God fearing we were. This was, of course, a motto about the Christian god. In a country where the first law on the list of the highest laws of the land is that congress shall make no laws respecting religion, there is an understanding outrage when congress violates that law by finding loopholes and exploiting them to push their religious beliefs into places they don't belong.

I myself don't think it should be on there. There is something called seperation from church and state. I think you also have it slightly wrong, isn't it freedom FROM religion? Sometimes the majority is not always right. If they were, then the world would still be flat, we'd still be living in caves, we'd still have slaves, we'd still think of women as second class people. The building will still serve it's purpose just the same with or without mentioning god on it. It is easier to know something is there if it's not then to have it there when it shouldn't be.

I cannot see how non=smoking, but drinking and meat eating has anything to do with atheism. Look I am an omnivore (who eats meat and vegetables and salad stuff), I do not smoke, and I will drink on special occasions and I am a Christian. But I can tell you this, if all us Christians demanded that verses of the Bible should be read every morning before congress and that prayers should be said before public meetings, no one will listen to us and they will refuse to obey. But all it takes is just one atheist to stop an engraving mentioning God, and the government will say "fine, we'll do it." Who do they listen to really? The ungodly.

Let me put it this way: IF the majority of Americans were Atheists, and you were a Christian, would it not be a bit upseting to constantly have to see "God does not exsit." everywhere? Just because something is thought to be "right" by the majority does not mean that it is.
