When did we become an Atheist country?

I'm not a bible thumper, but I just read about an atheist group that wants crosses taken down that honor fallen CHRISTIAN police officers in Utah. What next, take down crosses in front of churches because they are in public eye? I'm sorry, but this is ridiculous. I completely understand the separation of church and state, but it does not state any where in our constitution that we cannot celebrate our religious beliefs when it comes to honoring the dead (such as the flag folding controversy at funerals - give me a friggin break!). Can I get some intelligent feedback here? Rude and ignorant comments will get ya reported. GOD BLESS!
