Good - it makes my day when would be theocrats are forced to worship in their homes and churches on their own dime, as opposed to making noisome pharisaic displays that are meaningless in terms of personal devotion and sacrifice.

"It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation was founded, not by religionists, but by Christians; not on religions, but on the Gospel of Jesus Christ. For this very reason peoples of other faiths have been afforded asylum, prosperity, and freedom of worship here."
Patrick Henry

Yes, far better that we should be forced against our will to rub our noses in the alter of socialist totalitarianism. By stripping the right of Christians to practice the Christian religion, you step on their Constitutional right to freedom of religion. No one is forcing you to worship anything but the anarchy you appear to hold dear.

By taking away our right to honor our history and the founding principles of this country you take away our First Amendment right. As you know, you're using our Constitution to destroy our Consitutional rights. This, of course, is what you and your ilk want.

'displays that are meaningless'. If that's the case what is your problem?
