Re: Christian Free speach VS Atheist free speach-Both lost

I'm going to have to agree with you. I'm not a fan of religious or political displays on public property because it is just that: public. Not everyone has the same beliefs, and by putting up said display, one is either ignoring other people's beliefs and/or insinuating that one belief system is superior to another. Not allowing any displays like the nativity scene in the article to be set up in the park at all allows the public land to be neutral ground, which is exactly what it should be, in my opinion. Private land, on the other hand, is entirely different. Setting up a nativity display or a political sign on one's private property doesn't bother me in the slightest unless what it has to say is actively harmful to someone else.

what's the problem with implying one religion is superior? i get that it's an asshole thing to do but why should the courts be dictating whether or not something should be allowed based on how "nice" it is? there are far worse things people are implying or outright stating that are entirely protected by law.

... Because the government/courts have absolutely no place to be putting value judgements on various religions? Separation of church and state?

You'd have to take that one up with the Constitutional Convention of 1787 and, like, John Marshall as to why it's the Court's job to dictate whether something should be allowed based on its constitutionality.

Incidentally, in the words of Supreme Court Justice David Souter: "government should not prefer one religion to another, or religion to irreligion." (Board of Education of Kiryas Joel Village School District v. Grumet, 1994).
