Would you or some other religious fanatic please explain to me why it's so important to have (your) religious symbology displayed on government property?

I mean if you want a Nativity Display, knock yourself out. Put it up at your home, your business, your church. Rent an empty lot at the corner of a busy intersection. Put it on your facebook page, your twitter feed, wherever else you please. Nativity, nativity everywhere.

But why, pray tell, is it so damn important that it be displayed on government property??

Im not a religious fanatic...For your info...The country was founded on Judeo-Christian principles...

"The first act of America's first Congress in 1774 was to ask a minister to open with prayer and to lead Congress in the reading of four chapters of the Bible. In 1776, in approving the Declaration of Independence, our founders acknowledged that all men "are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights..." and noted that they were relying "on the protection of Divine Providence" in the founding of this country. John Quincy Adams said, "The Declaration of Independence laid the cornerstone of human government upon the first precepts of Christianity." Also, the signers of the 1783 Treaty of Paris, which ended the Revolutionary War, insisted the treaty begin with the phrase, "In the name of the most holy and undivided Trinity."

If the people of the local city or county determine they want to allow it, what business is it of your's? They have the right to display it.

"Ridicule is the only weapon which can be used against unintelligible propositions. Ideas must be distinct before reason can act upon them; and no man ever had a distinct idea of the trinity. It is the mere Abracadabra of the mountebanks calling themselves the priests of Jesus."

-Thomas Jefferson

It's not a "creative" way around the law. The law allows for ANYONE to have a display as long as it is attended at all times.
