...and would not mind if other people prayed publicly or did not do so.

Which, maybe not so oddly, is exactly the sentiment I expressed. Unfortunately, some of those on the religious right would deny other religions access to the public square.

Would my Yule log and Thor's Hammer be welcome next to a Menorah or a Nativity display?

Since the founders were primarily Christians, and the majority of the population are still Christian, what is your point? Is anyone preventing anyone from practicing any religion as long as its practices are legal?

What part of "Judeo-Christian" do you not understand?

Recently there were some articles about (darn memory - which state was it - Maryland?) a city council or some kind of town board meeting which meets with a prayer. So a wiccan gal wanted to pray to whichever something or other that wiccans pray to.

If there were enough wiccans who wanted to hear her, it would make sense. But no one wanted to hear her. Anyone has a right to be a wiccan, but no wiccan has a right to force others to participate or be forced to listen to them.

What we have here is the opposite, and it stinks.
