Yes, I could choose to walk away from my Dad's grave in Arlington, and ignore the fact that he won a Purple Heart, in order not to have to say to my grandchild, "No, that person with the Pentacle over there is not Satan, Hun, his family just believes a bit differently than ours". Of course, since she is five, she is MUCH more able to understand this than a stadium full of high school grads, who could have walked out, if they were that annoyed. Unless, of course, their graduation means as much to them as my Dad's grave does to me. Does that make sense?
OH, and OF COURSE there are more Christian bigots than atheist bigots...that woud be because there are more Christians to begin with, maybe?
(I lived through seven teenagers, the "ICP", and more recently, Katrina. My shock level is probably higher than most, but thanks, Kate!!)

Maybe you could just tell your grandchild that the pentacle is a sign of mathematical perfection used by the pythagoreans in order to illustrate the divine proportion? After all, that is what it is, the pentacle is in no way satanic. How would you like it if you were not allowed to have a cross on your grave, but I was allowed to have the Cintamani engraved on mine?
As for the valedictorians microphone, that was out of line, not to mention unconstitutional...
Taking down Christian symbols on government buildings is completely fine, it is just the enforcement of the first ammendment. Taking Christian symbols off of private property is unconstitutional...
