It is a freedom of religion issue. That is why I mentioned the Savage braodcast yesterday, when he said the Universalist church is now advocating taking the crosses down form it's (and I think other denominations) churches, because it may offend non Christians.
That's not about freedom, it's about people desperately needing good psychotherapy.
And again, if the founding fathers had written our governing laws with a deep basis on specifically Mary, for some reason, then yes, she should be left as a historical and rooted figure. However, they didn't do that. So I don't know why you are talking about Mary.

Actually, our common law is based on Grecian Law. Which predated the 10 Commandments (year approx 1300 B.C.
Around 621 B.C. a citizen of Greece, named Draco, came up with laws (now referred to as Draco's Law) that we follow today. Such as: Giving the state exclusive right to punish a crime as compared to private justice.
