You're happy with with the federal judges' decision because it validates your belief in atheism and removes a symbol of another faith(s) that offend your eye. This is indeed the establisment of a federal religion. If a state or town had enough hindu/moslem/wiccan people to form a consensus then it's certinly allowed for them to have symbols of their belief on public display in government buildings. I would'nt go to such a place but that's what religious freedom is about. The only violation of the establiment clause would be if congress made a law making the beliefs of any religion mandatory, sort of like the way you have to buy mandatory auto insurance, If the people of the state of alabama form enough of a consensus to have the monument of the 10 commandments in a building they own that's up to them and if they did'nt want it should be worked out within the state.

You have no idea what you are talking about. Keep applying the stereotypes to those different than you. I don't have a problem with Christians. As a matter of fact, a very nice Christian woman will be home-schooling my 4 year old.

It is not up to the government (state or federal) to enforce your Christian beliefs.
