6. That's not At All the point.
I am a Christian and am pretty much with them on this.I also know family/friends who are more moderate and dont attend church much but feel the same way.people who consider themselves christians feel that they and the Christian religion alone are being singeled out as "non politicaly correct" and pushed out of public life in Every way.The feel pushed by those who don't believe (all the court cases against manger scenes,childern being told no Christmas plays,no Christmas Carrols,no mention of Merry Christmas at all in school,etc) One town put up a Menorah(SP?) on public property and said it was ok because it was "Historic" but no manger scene was allowed.So a woman went to court and Won and bought her own to put up on town property.But the town is still fighting it in court for next year.(this year it went up because she paid for it herself).

People feel pushed and they are now pushing back.I think it's good because you either ban it all (Jewish,mushim,Pagan,Kwanza) or you make room for all.
