Slightly off topic - Has anyone ever noticed that every time the topic of religious proselytizing comes up, the phrase "shove it down my throat" or a close variation, is ALWAYS employed? As an atheist, I am no fan of evangelizing, but as a person who dislikes overused language memes, I'd love it if media, and the population as a whole, would let this tired phrase go. (I've been complaining about this one for a long time.)
Back on-topic - There's a lot of this kind of thing going on - particularly in smaller, more homogenous communities, where people tend to assume that pretty much everyone else is a believer, so if the tiny minority of atheists or pagans have a problem with such public sentiments, that's their problem, and why should it impede on the good will and godliness of the majority? This is one tough attitude to change. All the same, it is jaw-dropping that a pubic school official would fail to see that such signs are very actively pushing a religious agenda.
