Sure, but then my contention is that the display of the TC is not per se religious.

Yes, I'm aware of the argument. You make it seem very reasonable. There is a certain logic to it, but it seems more rationalization than argument to me. Let's just say I'll believe it when Justice Moore fights to have the Magna Carta in his courthouse. And, of course, when they lop out the third of the those ten commandments that are totally about God and nothing else.

I do, indeed, think that complaints by the secular have been blown out of proportion.......

That's entirely possible. But as I've said many times, we live in our own subcultures and have no way to evaluate the strength of certain ideas in unfamiliar territory. If no one offers you a hand, you assume that most of what you hear from the loudmouths is generally accepted by the group. And the loudmouths like Justice Moore are damned scary.
