Apparently Justice Scalia came down on the "liberal" side of a similar case before the Supreme Court.
I tend to agree with his rationale on this. A government building is no place for a religious exhibit in this country. It's perfectly acceptable for private organizations to sponsor religious exhibits in public spaces, on the other hand.
That would be a change of the Founder's intent and a violation of
Separation of Church and State. To stop communities from religious freedom would require a Constitutional Amendment and I just don't think there are enough religion haters to make that happen.
Besides which, the examples of mandated State atheism we have seen are not examples of freedom but Marxist slavery.

Whenever an issue like this comes up I always organize my arguments based on a scenario where my local government decides to fly an Islamic flag and etch Koran verses all over the government buildings.
There's no way in hell would anyone here on FreeRepublic accept that kind of sh!t.
