Are y'all anti-all religions, or only Christianity?

I don't think this was directed at me but allow me to chip in my 2
cents worth. I'm not anti religious at all, not yours, nor anyone
else, but I am a *really* strong proponent of the separation of church
and state. The founders of this great country were all too familiar
with state sponsored religion and wanted no part of it here, and for
really good reasons. The first amendment did not happen by accident.
You think a Christmas tree is "State Sponsored Religion"?
If the state pays for the tree and/or sets it up on state property, it
certainly is state sponsored religion. It is promoting Christmas, a
religious holiday. On private property, on church property, it is just a
Christmas tree.
Stop whining, none of your money was used to buy the tree, pay to have
it moved, pay to have it decorated or pay the electricity bill for the
lights. You didn't pay your taxes, shut you mouth.
