did you read my post? (it was pretty short ) ... the church can put a manger the size of a barn on their front lawn if they want ... the point is what we spend public money on ... decorating is fine, but i would classify it as a "luxury", not an essential part of life like parks, flowers, roads, schools, etc.

because the flag represents all of america, unlike a manger ... we are all americans, whether we like our government or not ... we are not christian if we don't like christianity
