I'm honestly not sure what your response has to do with my post. Are you suggesting that atheism is a religion? To conclude that "religion" has a place in the formation of our government, military decisions and education is a stretch, in that you have not very clearly underscored what religion is. Furthermore, how many of these influnces are indistinguishably cultural? The Western world is inherently Christian, which is inherently Greco-Roman and Jewish. There is no sense in being bitter about your heritage: it is what it is.
