I think that if the typical western evangelical had lived in the time of Nebuchadnezzar we would have tried to dismantle the monument. We would have phoned the talk shows, written letters to the editors, written to our politicians and taken around a petition. But that is not what Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego did. They just continued to live their lives in a way to honour their God.
Just recently Christians in Texas decided that they didn't like the atheistic sign on the side of the buses so they petitioned city council to have them removed. They won and they lost their own right to advertise. When we dismantle the monuments we may win the battle but really we lose much more.
