5. This is a real gray area for me.
I mean, shoud we be tearing the art off of the walls of the supreme court building?

How about all the greek gods/goddess' in the library of congress. How about every reference to God in all the quotes in all the marble in DC?

Where does it stop?

I am about as anti-religion as one gets, but I think that this issue is not one worth fighting about. If it is intended as art, then it is part of the culture and should be allowed - it is not an establishment of state religion.

Now, not letting people marry who they want to, laws against pornography and prostitution, laws against gambling and drugs (not to mention all of the local Blue laws) - THEY are based on religion and should be abolished.
