This is getting rather frustrating but lets go again. HE and the vast majority of atheists, agnostics, non Christians, etc.. don't want this stuff gone because it offends us, we want the STATE to be secular and not pick one religion over another. Religious freedom is also freedom from religion, and we are more than happy to let Churches and private land display all they want when it comes to Christmas.
I personally think its all very pretty, nativity scenes and such, I have zero problems with all of Christmas, my only beef is when the State takes a stance on religion, its a simple concept and the problem is you want the state to to a stance FOR your particular religion because you follow it.
I'm sure you'd want Christian nativity scenes all over government buildings if you were say.. a Muslim? Hindu? ....

Yet you judge others who don't want to see the State support same sex marriage because it offends them. Does that make you a religiousphobe?

Comparing pushing ones religious ideology onto state property to giving a significant minority equal rights is hilariously bad.
