We'll probably need to agree to disagree here, and that's ok because this is America and that's what's great about this country. I don't see how a town office having a Christmas tree on its property or a statue of Moses with the 10 commandments is establishing a state religion. Your earlier post referred to a separation of church and state which is a concept that I do not believe is embodied in the wording of our constitution. Obviously a majority of activist supreme court justices didn't agree with me on that one, but it wouldn't hurt my feelings a bit to see the bench return to interpreting law and not creating law.

If people believe that the concept of separation of church and state should be enshrined in the constitution, there are legislative routes to put it there and that would be the correct mechanism rather than through the courts, IMHO.
