Any display or discussion remotely resembling an endorsement of religion by a public entity, is fought tooth and nail as unconstitutional.
Unless of course, such display is against religion. At which time, the same loons vigorously defend it as free speech.

Agreed, I feel more and more that religious texts are simply guides to live ones life. Since the people who wrote those stories told them by word of mouth they have significantly changed from person to person. Language translations certainly don't help maintain its original meaning.
I treat the bible like Greek Mythology. Stories that helped people of a long lost era explain the unexplainable and comfort them in the after life.
I take solace in that fact that I don't know everything. I won't know where I am going or what created the Universe.
I say for the good of everyone that we're all different. Treat everyone with fairness and respect. Sadly most followers of many religions tend to forget that. :(
