No, religion is an important aspect of our country’s history

Religion throughout history has shown itself to be a greatly destabilizing influence sewing and being used to justify conflicts and atrocities and more recently been used as a cudgel against various minorities. The US has been and will be a diverse country in many ways so to give credence or reverence to any religious belief would lead the US down the path of folly many other states have. So, it is for those reasons and more that any reference to God on any iconography of the US should be duly stricken.

While religion is an important part of our history, the Founding Fathers intended the U.S. to be free from religious influence in the government. This also helps keep the government diverse in opinion and thought.

It isn't important at all, people should freely express and exercise their beliefs. However, the government cannot instill a religion.

One can awknowldege, record, and teach the important effect of religious thinking on American history while maintaining separation of church and state. That separation further allows for a more objective appraisal of American history by suppressing official religious bias. Because religion does not, and (according to establishment clause) should not, inform city, state or federal law, the governments' references to religion cannot serve to summarize, explain, or glorify the governments or their laws. The only function these references serve is religious propaganda, which is incompatible…  Read more with the secular civic values America was built on.

Religion is important, but shouldn't be enforced by the government in any way. A majority of early colonizers were fleeing religious persecution. To not teach this, would be the equivalent of not teaching slavery.

It is an important aspect of history, but another is the freedom to celebrate any religion you would like to.

people have different religions and believe in different things so you can´t go based off of one common belief.

Religion subjective and is not proven so it can not be used to install ideas or influence ideologies in the United States

Religion has influenced the country's history but it shouldn't anymore. Yes, the first amendment says there is freedom of religion but you can still be religious and find a separate way to govern the country. In history, it has been used to go against abortion, interracial marriages, peoples morals, etc. And there it is easy to give people an option, your religion isn't everyone's religion.

When one person suffers from a delusion, it is called insanity. When many people suffer from a delusion it is called Religion.

Everyone has different beliefs and everyone holds their beliefs different to them. Religion is not important to the aspects of our country's history.

Religion being an important part of our history has nothing to do with its topical ongoings. If a church or group is doing something constituting action, it should be stopped like any other crime.

Religion is an important aspect of our country, but it should stay separated from our government. This is because having the government intwined in one religion violates the 1st amendment's guarantee to one's freedom of religion.
