That's tolerance on a pragmatic level, in a nutshell.

I would take it off as it is an anachronism with no real grounding in our national myth.

Nowadays people with a certain vision of things are likely to feel bad (or claim/pretend to feel bad) because of something quite innocent in other people's eyes. They file suits and get the court's rulings in their favor (like someone was offended to see father and mother on a birth certificate and demaded parent 1 and parent 2 instead). The same with the problem discussed. It seems like some people have too much spare time and no other poblems to worry about.

Might as well have "We Trust, In Yoda hmm" much more modern fictional character and I don't see any of his robed followers raping children and then fellow robe wearers absolving them...

That only makes sense if you believe that all religions are equally idiotic. Let's take a detour and only look at the consequences
of an ideoligy, and consider in this grand-game of sanity not to be comparible Excusionists never any further than hundreds of years. Redicule is all that's left and 'redicilus' didn't work in a Harry Potter book either

Idiotic in varying degrees. Harmless except for the terrorism, child molesters who are looked after by their superiors, one law for the state religion followers other laws for the rest, modification of science teaching to teach creation myths, not paying taxes, inbreeding groups etc

Some just clap and drum a little too loud in the morning.

I was always partial to "E pluribus unum" but again it's their buisness.
