That is exactly the wrong attitude. A public official should have the right to practice his own religion in a public forum. Now a particularly enlightened public official would also celebrate other religions to acknowledge that we live in a multi-cultural and multi-religion society. For instance, if I was President I might attend mid-night mass on Christmas eve in accordance with typical Catholic traditions. I might also have a Christmas tree in the White House and invite Christmas carolers to come visit. In deference to other religions, I'd probably also allow a minora to be displayed, as well as any other religion's type of displays around the White House. In addition, I might also visit a mosque and a temple to show that all religions are welcome in the U.S., despite my particular Catholic persuasion. The law should never ban me from doing those things. Religion is part of our society and they should not be supressed. A less enlightened approach would be to ban all expressions of religion and give up our freedoms.
