Nothing moronic or silly about it. This is still America and we still enjoy Freedom of Religion. As a matter of fact we were founded by those fleeing religious persecution. This country was founded on a great body of principles and we aren't about to change that today. It isn't even at "Ground Zero" by the way. It is two blocks away. Even that would be irrelevant. At Ground Zero or Close to Ground Zero, everyone enjoys freedom of Religion here and the day that doesn't happen is the day America as we know it has ended.
