Business owners trying to dictate health coverage? Sure enough
Christian icons continuously placed in public areas, but said christians don't want other groups to have the same ability? Of course.

I'll just respond to your first one. Having a moment of silence where students can do anything from reflecting on the day, to praying (any religion they want), to daydreaming is hardly shoving anyone's religion down anyone's throats. You have it upside down. When states have ruled that a moment of silence is totally legal, it is the atheists whose panties get in a wad and take it to court and sue. God forbid some students exercise their right to think about whatever they want during the moment of silence. Some of them may actually pray silently. We can't have that.

The only ones in this case who want to control people's thoughts are the atheists. Maybe we should take it a step further. Would you be in favor of giving students a lie-detector test to make sure that they never thought about God during the school day? To think silently about God while you are on school grounds is a violation of the Constitution. LOL.
