What difference does it make what someone might imagine the
number to be? Do you find imaginary statistics convincing? If
you think you have an actual number, why don't you say so?

By the way, how many of those soldiers do you think prayed to atheism as
they were dying on the battlefield? Hmmmm?

What a silly comment.

Give them a little more time ... the ACLU -will- target Arlington
Cemetery's crosses and stars of David, for removal.

I doubt it, but even if they did, the courts decide, not the ACLU.

And as for one class of Christian symbols on government
property not targetted by the ACLU, see the Arlington
Cemetary. There are plenty of Christian symbols there that
the ACLU finds perfectly acceptable.

C'mon Kozel, you can do better than "No Atheists In Foxholes"...

"We understand that the Byron Union Elementary School District ("BUESD")
has instituted a mandatory course for seventh grade History students
which contains an elaborate section teaching the history and traditions
of the Islam religion.

Please provide one example of a non-Christian religious symbol
on government propert that could have been considered a promotion
of religion in the same sense and you'd have a point.

Public schools promote other non-Christian religions all the time.
Here is one example --

"The following is a letter written by the ACLJ to the Governor of
California, Attorney General of California, and the State Superintendent
of Public Instruction regarding the mandatory Islam course in public
schools:"

January 18, 2002

Dear Governor Davis and General Lockyer:

(Excerpt)

"We understand that the Byron Union Elementary School District ("BUESD")
has instituted a mandatory course for seventh grade History students
which contains an elaborate section teaching the history and traditions
of the Islam religion. The particular methods that BUESD and its agents
have implemented in teaching this course section have led to a number of
complaints by parents regarding violations of their and their children's
First Amendment freedoms. By this letter, the American Center for Law
and Justice ("ACLJ") would like to bring to your attention that the
Islam course section discussed herein contains materials and
requirements that unconstitutionally force students to engage in speech
and practices which conflict with their religion in violation of the
students' free speech and free exercise rights, as well as their
parents' right to direct the education and upbringing of their
children. Additionally, we question two specific exercises employed by
the BUESD and its agents as violating the First Amendment's
Establishment Clause".
