And why not do it? Don't like it? Don't look. Or to put it in "religious" terms, if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out.

There are also millions who proudly claim to be Christians and I would argue they do not support the commandments, tenants or ideas of Christianity.

It's not a matter of pissing off the establishment it is showing the establishment life is diverse and and not just a one way street.

It is done to make themselves visible. Any minority knows what invisibility feels like.

OUCH ! laugh

Dave, that's why I don't Like ANY religious paraphernalia at ANY public structure or venue. It opens a big can of worms ! Sure why not Buddhists, Islamists, and many others like you cite. [Now the nudists might be ok ! whistle ]

Keep the religion at the places of worship or in your private homes and institutions - that's my point !!

Actually, they prefer the name, "naturist." I'll volunteer to be the model for their "monument." shocked

Naturist sounds more like a tree-hugger, environmentalist type than someone naked !! But it's their call ! Naturist Colony ? crazy

I've argued for years about required prayer in school. I've said that thse who support it assume the prayers that will be said wil be those of their church. We would see another tune if a non acceptable prayer is said. Like thse of the Wicca or Satenism

Best to keep it in their home or church.

My Italian mom was Catholic, W.A.S.P. dad was
Southern Baptist. Although we kids were baptized
Presbyterian we were raised as Jehovah's Witness
(yup, sent to Death Camps along with the Jews...
...but I digress...)

When it came to School Prayer AND The Pledge of
Allegiance, I was allowed to simply remain silent,
and stand in respectful silence during the pledge.
No Worries. smile

After all of the above, I wound up not as an atheist
but rather a Naturalist (nekkid tree-huggers ROCK! cool

...But seriously.. as an environmental activist,
I stand behind the words inscribed on the monument;
It's better to do what we can to make life on Earth
sustainable, rather than waiting for Divine Intervention

edit to add:
I think the point wasn't to pish people off, but as
Leslie pointed out, that there is an alternative, AND
that speaking out opens the door to Healthy Discussion
concerning the prejudice against NON-Religious Citizens.

IMO, much the same as the Trayvon Martin Case opens
a conversation that's long long long overdue.
