re: To you, having locally-sponsored Christmas celebrations violates the "establishment" clause, but to me, banning them from the public square violates the "free exercise" clause.

By God, a gray area. Would you support statues of Muslim hero's in front of your kids primary schools? bin Laden? How about Muslim prayers or Madras classes in the schools? How about atheist inscriptions on the school, like "God is a myth and Jesus is a joke"?

You want "free exercise" and you open Pandora's box.

I like Christmas stuff... it's fun and makes everyone feel good... even the "opposition" religions, from my experience. If you religious nuts didn't freak out over a few atheists the whole thing would probably be a (small) joke.
