The crosses on the monument represent the dead, not Jesus. It is a stupid issue by eggshell atheists who somehow are never offended enough not to be paid in money with the "In God We Trust" on it.
the idea of congress shall make no laws, was to prevent a STATE religion, like the church of England, not to bar religion.
individual states had religions after the constitution becuase the bill of rights did not apply to states.
Nope, I think it's sad that today we interpret the Constitution to mean that you can't have any kind of religious symbol on public land. The government isn't making a law establishing or respecting religion. People are oversensitive and the courts typically cave in.
If you guys want a memorial with jesus and friends on it, you can pool your money together and make your own.
The fact that you people want me to pay for your religious symbols blows my mind. Yeah, you're real oppressed.
