Their answer:

The First Amendment says, Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion......." It doesn't require a particular one.

And my response

Did Congress put the crosses up in Utah?

My point is that putting up a cross does not establish ANY religion. The crosses have, I am told, the troopers’ names on them. They are a kind of memorial.

Remembering the dead is indeed done by religious people, but I note there is a reference to Ms. O’Hair (excuse any possible misspelling, not intentional) on your site. Is your site a religious site? Clearly not, so remembering the dead is not intrinsically religious, though those of us who are religious might, as I have done, be reminded by a mention of your “hallowed dead” to pray the Fatima prayer for them.

Not only are you failing to show that putting up crosses establishes a religion, or religion in general, you are also suggesting that the First amendment as you quote it does not apply because it says nothing about what Utah can do, since the clause you cite refers to Congress. What law did Congress make that “respected” putting up crosses in Utah?
