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? ....  |
I've never seen a nativity scene in a government building. I have never seen any christian symbols all over government buildings. I've seen the local Indian tribe say a pray in a School assembly. I've seen crosses along public highways in both Canada and the United States. I remember singing "God save the Queen" and quoting the Lord's Prayer in school as a child. There were kids who didn't participate because of their beliefs. No big deal.
The only ones that seem to make a stink about these things is atheists. The study just reflects christian's acknowledgement of who are the trouble makers.
