    Exactly my point.

    From the beginning.

    Out of curiosity, just to see how "big of a deal" this was, I searched NewsBank for all 69 covered New York state news sources for mention of this topic. I came up with one. Just one. That's how overblown this whole thing is. Here is the article. Note not a single mention of atheists anywhere....

    STREET HONOR FOR 9/11 RED HOOK 7

    New York Post (NY) - Sunday, June 12, 2011

    Author: Joe Walker and Cynthia R. Fagen

    Families of the seven Red Hook firefighters killed on 9/11 gathered outside their Brooklyn firehouse yesterday for the renaming of Richard Street as Seven in Heaven Way .

    Aidan McShane, a West Islip, LI, high-school junior whose dad, Terrence, was among those killed from Ladder Co. 101/Engine Co. 202, did the honors.

    "I love seeing these guys because they remind me of my dad," he said as some 50 firefighters stood at attention in front of the "Raiders" firehouse.

    Lt. Joe Gullickson and firefighters Pat Byrne, Brian Cannizzaro, Sal Colobro, Tom Kennedy and Joe Maffeo were also lost that day.
