Subject: RE: BS: Secularity vs Religion
It's a matter for a court to decide whether the boundary line gets crossed or not, Strick. I think your batting at a straw man here. I agree that the proposal seems silly in contrast with the power of inertia and keeping things as they are, but I believe it might be very clarifying to the nature of the nation. There's a certain hypocrisy in claiming to forbid government bias in support of one or another religion, while sprinkling the day-to-day scene with Christian arcana (one-eyed pyramids and Gott Mitt Uns bumoper stickers).
