"A manger in front of a town hall on Christmas, the Ten Commandments on a court house wall, and “public school” teachers teaching from the bible are not examples of the state establishing a religion. This is the fundamental problem with a lot of conservatives today, they've conceded the moral high ground because they believe progressive lies."

Don't tell me what I've conceded.

Those were not examples of the free expression of religion, which was the subject at hand. Nobody made a claim that they were state establishments of religion.

The inability to make logical distinctions might be the fundamental problem with a lot of people.

They absolutely are expressions of the free practice of religion. If the people of a town vote to put up a manger why can't they? Why aren't they free to practice their religion? I would think the majority of mangers were paid for and put up by churches in the "public square", how is this not the free practice of religion? If a Judge wants to put up the ten commandments in his courtroom what forbids him from the the free practice of his beliefs? Why shouldn't teachers at least teach from the bible? They sure teach from the Koran. Why is the bible expressly forbidden? Why has Christmas been removed from schools and replaced with "Winter holidays" but Ramadan can be openly practiced and taught about?

People have been intimidated by the most popular religion in America, "Cultural Marxism", better known as "Political Correctness". Progressives don't care about the constitution except as something to break, they don't care about traditional values, logical morality, enlightened self interest, or even the ethic of reciprocity. They want power, and in order to get it they have to break the constitution, they have to break the fundamental building block of our society, and they need to replace the moral code with their own. They have already co-opted our federal government at least with this administration. We are in a war to save our country from those that absolutely need to control or destroy it in order to further their ends.

That is why Christianity is always target along with the constitution, morals, and traditional values. They use divisive arguments to turn Republicans against each other. They lie, they cheat, they steal, they murder. They do everything they need to do in order to further their aims while we argue about mangers and the the 10 commandments.

But perhaps you have some train of logic that I'm not considering. Explain if you will.
