Nobody's crying separation of church and state (which I believe in to the point of freedom OF religion, but not freedom FROM religion) to stop God from appearing anywhere in the public eye.
Wrong. I know of numerous cases just in my area where religion is still under attack. At one high school, the cheerleaders wanted to make a large banner for the Friday night football game that said "God Bless America" and the superintendent made them remove the word God. Superintendents and principals all over have forced kids to change signs from "God Bless America" to something along the lines of "Stand Up For America." Even at the elementary school right down the street from me, the music teacher wanted to teach the song "God Bless America" to her 4th grade music class (and probably the rest of her classes,) but the school principal said that she cannot. My father is going in today to my school's superintendent to complain, because my little brother was rather upset about that his teacher wasn't allowed to teach it to him.
