And Anoah, I forgot to mention, there are hundreds of new churches built every year in America!

That is from ACLU own website. They have no problem with swastikas or burning crosses displayed or worn in a public place. But since the cross in a public place is not promoting hate speech, according to them it's got to go! They also say on their website that the answer to hate speech is more speech and speech should never ever be censured, but again that clearly doesn't include Christianity speech.Q: What about nonverbal symbols, like swastikas and burning crosses -- are they constitutionally protected?
A: Symbols of hate are constitutionally protected if they're worn or displayed before a general audience in a public place -- say, in a march or at a rally in a public park. But the First Amendment doesn't protect the use of nonverbal symbols to encroach upon, or desecrate, private property, such as burning a cross on someone's lawn or spray-painting a swastika on the wall of a synagogue or dorm.

Similarly, the National Origination of Women. Do all women agree with their positions? How dare they call themselves that when they clearly do not represent even a tiny minority of women's views? The ACLU should drop the A because they also only represent a miniscule minority of Americans.
