No Religion in the U.S.

Some Americans are trying to get rid of religion in the United States. But are they overdoing it? There are many examples of attempts to remove religion from daily life.   The Pledge of Allegiance should omit the words "under God" because an atheist group in California stated that this infringed on their right of freedom of religion. They claimed that it wasn't right "to have their government and its agents advocating for a religious view they each specifically decry."   There is a dispute as to whether or not public schools should allow religion in them. The whole issue could be avoided if taxes went for Christian as well as public schools. Thirty percent of taxes go to education, but this money does not go to fund Christian schools. These schools make up 16% of all schools in the U.S. The reason why there are so many Christians in public schools is because the tuition at Christian schools is too high, while tuition at public schools is paid by taxes. So if Americans want to run their mouths about no religion in schools, then their tax dollars should go to pay for Christian schools, just as Christians' tax dollars go to public schools.   Let us take a look at how religion is affiliated in everyday life. Here are just a few examples besides that of the use of "under God" in the Pledge. "In God We Trust" is printed on all U.S. currency. Another is the use of Christian Holidays like Christmas. The hardest of all of these to get changed are the names of several major cities: Los Angeles, San Francisco and San Antonio, just to name a few. Well, if people would look a little closer, what does each of these mean?...Los Angeles-The Angels, San Francisco-Saint Francis, and San Antonio-Saint Anthony. These are Christian affiliated names.   75% of the United States population is Christian. So how can the government rule against something that over 75% of the population is for? It is simple. You can't.   If these complaints against religion were granted, then instead of the government having 25% or less of the American population fighting for their religious rights, then they will have the other 75% of the population wanting their religion rights to be granted. So what can the United States do to try to make this country as nonreligious as possible? Nothing. It is impossible to make both sides happy.         -Happy Gilmore
