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

[cassandraoftroy]

Explain to me how the government refusing to provide free access to a publicly-maintained space for a particular religion to advertise and advocate their beliefs in any way violates the right to free exercise?

First Amendment violations would include passing laws forbidding churches from setting up nativity displays on their own, church-owned property, or from buying billboard space and displaying religious messages. Freedom of religion does not include being given free advertising space subsidized by the government.

Especially given that it seems the Christian group was fine until they tried to prevent other groups with differing messages from also displaying their beliefs, they really don't have a leg to stand on from the "religious persecution" angle. But even if it had just been a matter of, "are city governments Constitutionally obligated to provide a free platform for religious displays," an answer of "No" would not have been a violation of anyone's First Amendment rights. Allowing someone to speak without legal penalty =/= providing them with free ad space.
