tho I am not an atheist. I don't think it will produce any changes, but it's important as a protest. Since Christianity trumphs all other religions in America, I doubt any organized religions would protest it. They should, but will they?

I see this cross installation as a symbol of what we DON'T want to see in America--religious shrines of ANY kind where a unifying non-religious memorial would be more appropriate. So I would not be in favor of adding other religious symbols anywhere in an attempt to provide equal time--where does that end? How do you represent all religions in symbol? Doesn't work.

I'm disappointed that intelligent Christians don't see these points. That's what tells me--it's a lost cause, no matter who wants to protest--because so many Christians of all stripes want it. It's very unsettling. But I think we're stuck with it.

Revised to add--you know, maybe we're not stuck with it. Maybe we shouldn't just give up on this. But a lot more people would have to protest.
