Dan I realize that this is the case long ago, but this country was founded by people who came here to avoid Christian persacution, Now in this modern age we have people wanting get rid of anything to do with Christ. My kids don't have a Christmas vacation from school anymore they have a winter holiday. They're are people who would like to get rid of any mention of Christ.
