Why do we need all this public religiosity at the inauguration

[smoogatz]

in the first place? All this tussling over who's going to say what to the Big Empty kind of confirms my sense that secular government is the way to go. I know I don't speak for other atheists/agnostics, but if I did I'd say, "We told you so."

1. 90% of Americans have a religion. 3 to 4 % of Americans are Atheists.

Doesn't mean there should be anything religious at the inauguration, but it's always going to be there.

2. Because 80%+ of Americans choose to will nothingness over not willing at all...

It's close to The Mother Of All Ironies that FWN is tagged by the ignoranti as a nihilist.
