I believe you are wrong. Back in the early and mid-1980's the orthodox Jewish groups sought to establish a silent non-denominational prayer in the public schools. I guess we all just hear more from the Christian groups b/c of the sheer dominance of the latters; that doesn't mean that the other religious groups are less prone to imposing their views upon others.

On the other hand, the fanatisism of the groups/associations fiercely insisting on church/state separation and trying to find anything (crosses, logos, etc.) they can build their case on is just another manifestation of the prevailing lack of tolerance in our society - they are essentially as narrow-minded as the red belt pro-lifers and the like.
