..what they can't do, however, is to use their public position to promote their particular brand of religious beliefs...

It's not 'Moore's brand', mate. That's what you guys can't seem to grasp.

Your country, and your legal system, and the Alabama Constitution, was founded on Christian principles. That's why he's well within his rights in installing the monument.

Sigh... Not even close. This country was founded on Christian principles and government officials have every right to be Christian and to rely on their Christian principles to guide them in their decision-making. Nobody is saying that Moore should try to ignore his religious beliefs. What he absolutely is not allowed to do is try to force his Christian beliefs onto others through his position as Chief Justice of the Alabama Supreme Court. He's free to preach on his own time- he shouldn't be using the tax-payers' money for his little crusade.
