That's your opinion

How? By not allowing any religions (especially Christians) to display anything? Not going to happen. By not allowing atheists to display something? Good luck with that controversy.
The law says freedom of religion not freedom FROM religion.
I agree that many Christian groups have been guilty of trying to exclude other faiths and ideals from public settings.
However, I think abusing display privileges like this is childish. It doesn't prove a point, and frankly sends the wrong message. Whatever happened to having civil discussions? Aren't we supposed to be open to new ideas, and be tolerant of the beliefs of others?

Can Christians not enjoy the nativity scene just because it has a GoT poster next to it? At least it is a nice picture. If you didn't read the small print words, there wouldn't really be anything to get worked up about.

Sure it does.

Shouldn't you ask this of fellow Christians? Because they believe that everyone who isn't onboard with their interpretation of a book is going to burn eternally in hell.
