As a nation we have apparently chosen to be acceptable of all religions. We are telling our children to be "tolerant" of all religions on one hand... and then we say "but don't remind me that I am advocating tolerance by making me read a sign reminding me that these other religions are tolerated here." It's hypocritical and I think very confusing to kids. I have never been afraid to allow my children to see that other religions exist and in some places seem to thrive. I am confident enough that since they have known Christianity, they will choose it over the others and be a stonger Christian for having chosen it freely rather than having it crammed down their throats. Well said, Apple Pan Dowdy. Are we all so confused religiously that we can't stand to look at a sign relating to what someone else believes? The church has freedom of expression, just like anyone else.

"The church has freedom of expression, just like anyone else" You are so right! and its about time that our nation recognise this. I am not advocationg "teaching" religion in public schools, but hiding it is another thing altogether.
