    I’m only offended when the reference includes the implication that everyone believes in God. So I dislike phrases like ‘One nation, under God’ or ‘In God We Trust’, that imply that everyone in America endorses that idea. I don’t like going to apparently non-religious events (company New Year’s party, for example) and being asked to pray, since there’s an inherent assumption that all of the 300 people in the room are not just theists, but Christians as well. I’m not offended by people talking about religion as it applies to themselves. I am offended by people trying to apply their religion to me, or by people who assume that their religion applies to me.
