Maybe it was a historical development that was wanted and established as part of a democratic process?
I think what Fragony meant though is that you can not be in favor of it being there without being an ass about it like the guy(s) in the source of the OP. Why be all melodramatic about being a 'victim' and having to carry it in your pocket? For atheist it sounds pretty superstitious, as if a christian ghost possessed the bills and could potentially harm their atheism. The guy doesn't even want to spell the word 'god' for some strange reasons, how much more pathetic could he be? If a Christian said the pyramid on it is a demonic symbol and that he doesn't want to wear a demonic symvbol in his pocket, would you also support him? Because these people sound like the "atheist" version of just that. Just read this part for reference:



With this kind of reasoning I might as well claim the guy is possessed by the devil because he does not dare write God's name.
If you don't like the guy and/or the way he's going about this, you should address that to him, not me.

Religious people rightfully call it militant-atheism imho, just like there are feminists who will make a point out of everything, gay-right activists who identify themselves as gay while nobody cares. I basicly dislike all activism. The guy who wants to have it removed is just a bully.Friend of mine goes to church every sunday, we never talk about it, we have an unspoken agreement not to.
You can dislike people as much as you want, but it does not affect whether or not a specific cause they fight for is "right".
