"Saint" is not a secular word as it's commonly associated with matters pertaining to God, correct?

Question

Since the ACLU and the far left are going after symbols, words,and other "church and state" violations, wouldn't getting the name of an institution that operates with government funding have to remove such wording from these secular funded institutions?
It wasn't a problem when religious organizations funded schools, and hospitals. I believe that going into a place that has "saint" as part of it's name should be completely funded by a non-secular entity as opposed to one being operated by the State.
Just call the medical institutions something other than "saint" so I know what to expect when I need medical attention. Or when I want my children to be exposed to secular teachings as opposed to non-secular ones.

Answer 1

Wrong, Saints are specificly Catholic and Orthodox titles awarded post mortem, and if any institution is named after a person, it is only natural that their title is included too- this is just as true as with people who have been knighted.

The title "saint" is awarded by organisations and do not have direct connection to any god.

Answer 2

Is this incoherent rambleing diatribe actually a question? or
It this some kind of pathetic attrempt to stir up controversy in an area free from it?
If a supersticious organization, i.e. a church, builds a hospital and qualifies for government funding for health related services, who cares what the halfwits call it. When in a St. Hospital, if they only treat people of their own cult, well then that is wrong, of if they preach about whatever version of their god to the patients, also wrong. There are plenty of secular and non-secular charities that get government funding, as well as individuals and business that get funding. There are monastaries that get government funding for soup kitchens. Government funding to religious institutions doesn't constitute a breach of the church and state rules. Having a bible class as a manditory class in a public school would, as an elective, in a non-rleigious anthropological method wouldn't either (I think everybody should study the bible in that way, it would destroy every modern religion if people really understood the truth about that book.). As soon as it's prayer time in a public school is where it becomes state sponsored religion.
The problem is that most religious people think their version of whatever god they worship is the "one true" god or faith, and have no respect for other gods or faiths. That slippery slope is what the founding fathers had to deal with, that and they understood the history of how state sponsored religion had led to many a persicution in the past, from Rome to Henry VIII. In todays world the slope is even slipperier, as the religious right in the US wants to dictate what and how we are goverened, and taught. My opinion is that believe what you want, but do not interfere in my families rights to believe what we want.

Answer 3

Saints are mostly named so by the Roman Catholic Church, I think.

I have an idea. Don't go to the hospital if you don't like the name or the historical value of the name. Maybe you are one of the ones who thinks that all crosses should be removed from public property as well. You will feel very dumb standing in Arlington National Cemetery looking at all of the crosses marking the graves of soldiers who have died for YOUR freedom. DIG them up then-or try and just see what happens to you.

Answer 4

Its a moot point. I mean you know how much money it would cost to change all the names on all the buildings and all the contracts between hospital and doctors, doctors and patients, stationary, any legal stuff like tax ID numbers, etc?
I really don't know any school or hospital that doesn't get some government help because books and equipment cost millions of dollars and nobodycould afford it then.
