False, but leave it up to fred to knock the strawmen down!

So? The government contradicts itself all the time. Why should they care NOW about contradiction? The fact is that we are a nation made up of people from varying religions. The government should be SUPPORTIVE of ALL the religons; not banning them all because some weakminded atheists are incapable of seeing religious symbols lest they become accidentally converted.

It's impossible to have a rule that says if the religion is recognized by the government then their religious iconography can be displayed for a specific reason (i.e. it's a holiday)? I'm not arguing that people need to FOLLOW the religions, but there should be no reason to deny a Nativity at Christmas time or to display a menorrah at Hannukah or to display whatever you would display during Ramadan, etc.

You CAN support all of them.

I'm sure many would. So what? Why is THIS the time that you care what Christains think?

No it's not. Religoin is not to be forced upon the citizenry, true, but religion was not supposed to be banned from the government.

This is gotten far off track from the message I was trying to convey; my original point was intended to argue that supporting one does not mean you cannot support others. Allowing the display of a Nativity scene should not automatically mean the promotion of Christianity unless a menorrah or some other non-Christian religious symbol is expressly forbid.
