It's precisely because you HAVE a state-sponsored religion that you
have that. Here we have guarantees against that sort of thing, even
when some aren't interested in enforcing them.

Yes - can you imagine living in a state that insists you have
specific holiday decorations, paid for with your money,
whether you want them or not?

Um, we do. Note displays on government property, paid for and
supported by tax dollars. This is what I'm complaining about, in
