In my opinion the Christmas holiday is simply a recognition of the religious beliefs of the general citizenry, and that refusal to accept Christian displays is inconsistent with that. Likewise the display of menorahs etc. should be considered simply signs of respect for the Jews. If blacks want to celebrate Kwanzah, more power to them. But a true recognition of diversity in this country must proportionately acknowledge the religious views of the Americans people. Symbols matter, and minorities should not object to the public display of symbols that are important to the majority.

Well said, but we must face the fact that the courts of this country don't view religion in the same way we do. While there are many who highlight Christianity there are a bunch of judges and human rights organizations that make it their agenda to keep any symbols of Christianity out of the public arena.
