It's very simple... exerice your religion in a manner that I am not subjected to supporting it financially. I don't care what religion you are, I don't care what you think spiritually in the slightest. Your personal beliefs are none of my business. They become my business when you advocate smearing your beliefs on public property. Don't you understand, I want no part of your spiritual life, that's between you and your god. I have a wonderful view of freedom. Clearly, the nation strongly supports separation of church and state, so in the end... the dreams of a Xtian theocracy that some here seem to advocate is spit in the wind.

I don't expect you to support it financially. Placing a Nativity scene in front of City Hall or in the town square requires no money from you.

All it requires from you is tolerance, something of which you're in short supply. The space belongs to the public, not to you.

"Clearly, the nation strongly supports separation of church and state,"

Uh-huh. When was the last time Congress used their constitutional power to tell the federal courts to butt out of anything, much less a CHRISTian issue like the phrase "under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance?

No, the liberals, the USSC, the ACLU, and your buddy Michael Newdow strongly supports that nebulous concept called the "separation of church and state". Truth be told, they support the separation of God from America.
