Bad Example
I read the article and it is about atheists protesting a cross to be made a part of the 9/11 victims' memorial; a memorial paid for by US tax payers. This is not about liberal tolerance; this is about the government spending money to put up a cross; a religious symbol for one of many religions in memoriam for the victims that include Muslims, Hindus, Jews and other non christian beliefs. This more of a group using the government to build in religious symbols in what should be a secular memorial honoring all of the dead.
After the excitement regarding a mosque NEAR ground zero and getting that shut down, people want to put a large cross at ground zero. This should be done by a private organisation and not the government.
