I'd feel pretty upset if some judge said a symbol of MY religion was acceptable because it wasn't REALLY a religion

But ID was never religion anyway, was it?. So no harm, no foul.

It wasn't, but the judge said it was. I was simply noting that while Christians get upset when a judge rules that a nativity is a "religious symbol", I'd be more upset if I was a Jew who gets to keep his Menorah on the same grounds because the judge says it is merely "cultural".

I would note that a nativity scene is NOT a religious symbol. Nowhere in the bible does it mention a nativity scene. It is a model of a place in history where some believe a baby was born, whose birth we are celebrating with a national holiday.
