Strode frowns on the idea of adding a Hanukkah menorah or other religious symbol because, he said, "it would open the door for every other religion" to add their icons to his display.

The simple solution would be for the city to adhere to Article II, Section 4 of the Colorado Constitution, to wit:

No person shall be required to attend or support any ministry or place of worship, religious sect or denomination against his consent. Nor shall any preference be given by law to any religious denomination or mode of worship.
