Why do you care? I've asked this before...but what motivates you, when you get out of bed in the morning, to go and post on internet message boards about a religion you claim to not even believe in and celebrate events that you think will tick us off?

Because any display on GOVERNMENT PUBLIC AREAS of ANY religion is an ENDORSEMENT.
How long would it take for the evangelical-fundies to petition for removal of the Satanic Bible verses from Courts or schools?

Who cares?
If someone wants the 10 commandments posted somewhere, do it in their yard or in front of their church.
