the trend is markedly away from theocracy - at least Christian theocracy. You have nothing to worry about. If you told the founding fathers that the First Amendment would be interpreted as not allowing an angel statue in a public park, they would laugh their asses off. They were concerned with the establishment of a state religion -- like England had. Banning a statute of an angel, it seems to me, is more dangerous than allowing the statute.

Banning all references to religious figures, characters or personalities from the public square would be the establishment of atheism as the official government religion - which would be unconstitutional, IMHO.

Here is where you tell me that atheism is not a religion. I know, I know. Call it whatever you want - a set of beliefs or principles or a world-view or whatever. Whatever you call it, it is YOUR POSITION ON RELIGIOUS ISSUES. You seem to want your position on religious issues to be enshrined into law as the official position of the government. That shouldn't be allowed.
