re: #497 Walter L. Newton
In its recent shape, it is a recent phenomenon. It picked up speed through the 80s. You should have a look at the Military Religious Freedom Foundation website. Incidents like this are symptomatic of a deeper problem within your society; religious discrimination and specifically Christian supremacism. Both of these are favorites of the evangelicals.
Oh well, I guess I’ll round this up with a quote from George Bush Sr:
“No, I don’t know that atheists should be considered as citizens, nor should they be considered patriots. This is one nation under God.”
And that’s one to grow on!
