Why does religion need an assist from the government? Why aren’t all the anti-government, get government out of my life folks up in arms about this? Why can’t religion stand on its merits?

    It's a solid question.  

    And why is it 1 specific religion that gets all the help?

    The pattern seems to be this...
    1. A group demands some sort of government support for their religion (sometimes disguised as support for all religions)
    2. This support is challenged by Satanic groups that demand equal support
    3. Demand for support disappears

    Same as the people that want the 10 commandments displayed on public property.

    So for the Manger this year I want baby Jesus in a manger with a Yarmulke on with the 3 wisemen wearing prayer beads and keffiyahs with Mary wearing a Burkah and the cows wearing gold because they are sacred and the star can be Satan and Joseph can wear a monks robe and the other animals can be the Hindu Gods.

    Did I miss anything?

    In order for there to be 100% freedom of religion, as our forefathers inteneded, there should complete and unequivocally separated church and state.

    School is for training worker bees, religion (at least in the U.S., our official religion) keeps us in line.  It's all part of the program.
