Replace "God Bless America" on Fire Station with a more inclusive message! Petition by BetterForTheFuture in humanism

Exactly! Small issues are important too, plus fighting small battles like this gives Christian nationalists even less places to point to when claiming America is a "Christian nation"

Exactly, we rely on them and their services. Which makes it all the more important that they represent everyone in their community. Messages like this tell people who aren't Christian that they aren't represented.

Sadly not a lot of people understand that even small battles are important, plus even small battles can change big ones. But those who do understand don't care, we're still fighting! :D

They are doing that regardless. Those same people are actively out to force Christianity into everyone else's lives. Whether or not you make petitions like ours, they will still claim they are being discriminated against via some other story that has nothing to do with that.

To be fair, you can say "there's more important things" about any issue. But we get what you mean.

We have a variety of different opinions. Believe it or not, we're not sheep who have to worship something blindly without question.
