“The courts demand that every religious person must accommodate a single atheist who might be 'offended' at the favorable mention of God's name.

“Book burning is a charming old custom, hallowed by antiquity. It has been practiced for centuries by fascists, communists, atheists, school children, rival authors, and tired librarians.
