That is exactly the wrong attitude. Translation - this is your way of saying "I disagree". A public official should have the right to practice his own religion in a public forum. To a degree he does. A Muslim public official can go to his office and pray to Mecca 5 times per day. A Christian can do unto others as he would have others do unto him all day every day. What he can't do is turn a forum that exists for everyone into a forum that serves his religion. And he shouldn't need to - if he is so compelled to have a ten foot statue depicting the 10 commandments in his lobby, he should not take public office. The law should never ban me from doing those things. Religion is part of our society and they should not be supressed. Your view is the minority viewpoint in the US. A less enlightened approach would be to ban all expressions of religion and give up our freedoms. I think you should devote your efforts to adding parts of the school curriculum to the church services and forget about teaching religion in schools. Now THAT would be productive and enlightened.
