It is merely opinion, and misguided opinion at that, that Green's initiative is intended or regarded as anything that would "suppress or calm Christianity."  Such an interpretation rests on the theocratic paranoia that characterizes those who believe that the "Christian nation" status of this country validates governmental sanction of sectarian religious exercises within public, governmental venues.

They are wrong on that--dead wrong--but they are so emotionally wedded to this bogus notion that there is no way for reason to separate them from it.
