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.

After you pay your taxes, you should write a letter to your President and inform him of the fact. I
believe he was singing CHRISTmas carols at the lighting of the national CHRISTmas tree the other
evening.
