In that case, why are the courts erasing Christianity from the public sphere - their 50 year ongoing crusade to erase Christian symbols and faith? If the people in a community want the 10 commandments in their courthouse, who is the tyrnat in a black robe to say they can't? The 1st amendment says "Congress shall make no law..." Does a county courthouse = Congress? Does the 10 commandments = "making law"? huh?
That's what the US Supreme Court has said.
The Fourteenth Amendment incorporated the First Amendment to the states.
In that case, why are the courts erasing Christianity from the public sphereThey are not. They are saying that government may not promote specific beliefs. Government is not all of "society" or even "the public sphere", not by a long shot.
