This is a bigger issue of the separation of church and state than a
creche in the town square. I am surprised the ACLU folks have not
embraced it. Why does a religious ceremony like marriage have the

Quoting Tevye from "Fiddler on the Roof": "Tradition!"

More from Tevye:

Tevye: As the good book says, when a poor man eats a chicken, one of
them is sick.
Mendel: Where does the book say that?
Tevye: Well, it doesn't say that exactly, but somewhere there is
something about a chicken.
