This hysteria against symbols of faith surfaced as recently as the last quarter or so of the 20th century. A truly tolerant and enlightened approaoch would honor all faiths and disparage none - in theory, anyway. Again, the prohibition against an established church of a particular denomination of a specific religion does not mean we must abandon all reference to faith in the public forum. You'd better get ready to demolish, raze to the ground, most of the historic buildings and monuments in DC, to include the Washington Monument, which can be construed to have religious connotations. Get out the old sandblaster and cleanse the buildings of murals and foundational quotations which might have a religious reference. Just like the Taliban destroying the millenia old statues of Buddha because they found them offensive. How about showing some real maturity and tolerance here.
