the aclu successfully fought for a student to pray before eating her lunch. it's not an issue at all, except where people ignore the laws and rulings that is.
many christians think that because they are the majority, they have the right to dictate continuing to have religious icons on display in schools (see the recent case in the northeast), in contradiction to long standing rules regarding things like that. they also think majority rules (not true) and that 'natural law' is the first rule we all must follow. all that's incorrect, the constitution rules, and is there to protect even the most hated minority group-in this case, atheists.
if some amongst us didn't believe in rocking the boat, we'd still have english accents and sing god save the queen.

Ok, then I agree with you. I am in favor of a neutral moment of silence. Many atheists are not and have gone to court over it.
I'm not in favor of forcing a specific religion on students and I don't know any christians that are either.
