Is it just me, or do others see what we've made into our "god"?

Words from a classic protest song by Phil Ochs..."and heaven only knows in which god they can trust". Modern day America worships at various alters...greed, lust and self-promotion have taken the place of brotherhood and compassion. If someone tries to force their beliefs on me, then I have a legit grievance but why would I take offense at religious artifacts and symbols that bring comfort to others? Folks get so concerned about symbolism that they ignore other's feelings...works both ways of course, Christians should consider the feelings of others, mandatory prayer in schools or forcing a doctrine on others is certainly as wrong as displaying a Confederate flag from a government building...but if a guy has one in his window...who cares?
