text: I don't see how it's an "ad hominem" to note that others do not have to entertain the hangups that conservative xtians (and members of other conservative Abrahamic beliefs) have adopted out of personal choice. 
  
  
  
  Since this is a SECULAR nation, not a Christian one, we are all free to reject such nonsense, since it's not required by law in a secular nation.
  
  
  And it's obviously a SECULAR nation since all those founders that were supposedly xtian somehow left out any mention of xtianity within the only document that has any bearing on the law, and that is the Constitution. They talked about this, and chose to leave it out. On purpose. It was no accident. Therefore: secular.
