More fun with religion: even as the court's ruling is put on hold, Virginia has mandated posters in schools emblazoned with "In God We Trust."

Did you know that both "under God" in the pledge and the motto "In God We Trust" are not universal constants, but were adopted during the Cold War simply to draw contrasts with the supposedly atheistic Soviet Union? (And that's another one of my peeves... atheism was mandated not by the USSR from the beginning, but by Stalin during his reign.)

Meanwhile, someone wound up here at Rooster Spice by searching for "george h w bush atheist patriot" yesterday. Makes me wonder if someone is looking over my shoulder, since two (!) people came here looking for "build your own air conditioner." Who are these people?
