The whole debate on what things are named or religious statues in public places has always bothered me. Or the word god in the anthem.

Even if you don't believe in these things, you can still respect the idea and thoughts or tradition behind them.

I've always been disappointed with the radicals on both sides of these types of arguments. I mean, what does it really matter in the bigger scheme of things?

Look at many places of Europe. Long history of oppressive religion, religion in government etc. And large parts of it now are mostly secular. Yet you don't hear them having these arguments. They just enjoy all the lovely artwork and tradition around them while moving into the future with new thoughts.
