And for the record, no, I don't say science during the anthem.

New question for athiests... Does it bother you to have references to god in everyday life? As in, our national anthem. Or south of the 49th, on your money?
It doesn't bother me at all. It's like keeping a part of our history. Same as calling the Pantheon the Pantheon. Even though most people over there believe in one or less gods, changing something like that would be a travesty (which they actually did, but it really hasn't stuck).
I say true enlightenment accepts past ways of thinking as part of the learning process. Remember when the Taliban was burning books and knocking over ancient statues and structures? That is a real travesty.
