There is zero - ZERO - Constitutional basis for removing religious objects or displays from private (i.e. NOT Government) property, and I will offer the pledge for every FReeper who disagrees with Moore's stance that each and every one of us would fight tooth and nail to prevent the state or federal government from trying to regulate such displays on private property.
No one needs to be concerned about that. The issue of "taking God out of plain sight" is not an issue, as long as you don't require government sponsorship of your faith.

I saw a poster in a government building advertising the local baseball team schedule. Does that mean the government sponsors that team?

I supported his right to put it up. He lost in the courts. Take it down.

I go by a Ten Commandments yard sign daily. It's in front of private Christian school. It's been there for quite sometime (they do replace it when it gets weatherbeaten). I've never seen it ripped, torn, or vandalized in any way--and this yard sign has been there for a few years. Had I seen it pulled out, I would've replaced it.
