I'm not going to argue this point with you anymore because you just want to force fit me into your hypocrite trap. People are not commiting suicide because of the Bible so your hypo ethical is pointless.
The Gideons have been placing Bibles in hotels for generations. Nothing has changed. It's your side that wants to tear down traditions that actually are good for society.
Oh, they have been placing them in state run lodgings for generations? Where are all these lodgings? I am sure the FFRF would love to know about them.
Where in the constitution does it state that the Gideons cannot voluntarily place bibles in hotel rooms of state run facilities?
You don't seem capable of understanding that the Gideon's are not the ones doing the placing. So, when you do understand that, maybe you can join the rest of us here in reality.
The establishment clause is a deliberate red herring used by anti-God groups to implicate God in what is merely an EQUAL ACCESS issue, period.
Your apologetics pretending to justify Allah as a generic term for God is absurd. It is just as absurd as trying to justify the name Jesus as a generic term for God. God is NOT a religion-specific term and does not in any way establish anything to do with any religion.
I just showed you where indeed it is a generic term meaning God. Just because it isn't in your language doesn't make it less so.
You don't seem capable of understanding that the Gideon's are not the ones doing the placing. So, when you do understand that, maybe you can join the rest of us here in reality.
So what if they aren't? The placing of a Bible is not endorsement of a religion, nor is it restricting any other religion.

The poster stated that the Gideons have been putting bibles in HOTELS for generations. It is you who inferred anything about "state run."
