Good ...day

Slightly disappointingly, it turns out that Americans don't get Good Friday and Easter Monday off work. In relation to this I find the whole American "separation of church and state" a bit odd. In my (albeit limited) experience, I have found that probably more Americans consider themselves "religious" than back at home. And they go and write "In God we trust" on all their money and make school children say a load of stuff including "One nation, under God etc etc" first thing every morning. But they won't give us a day off work because the only son of said God sacrificed himself for the good of mankind. Odd.
