Now that I've created this thread, I want to address the topic of the supposedly ideal religiously-void society. For instance, the 10 Commandments in front of a court house. I oppose removing such images. Even if I were not Christian (yes, Mormons are Christian) or Jewish, or even Samaritan (there are indeed a few of those still around), I would not demand such be removed. We maintain cultural items, even if there is a religious element mixed in there. Should I demand we remove Indian pottery with ancient religious symbolism from a public museum? I don't think so, because even if you don't worship the same way the Anasazi did, you can still appreciate the cultural significance of their religion and its impact (albeit small) on our lives today.
Let me give you an example of what I feel is not the ideal: the country of Uruguay does not have a Christmas or Easter holiday. Now they still acknowledge such days as holidays, but give them some generic name, like Tourism Week for for Holy Week, etc. Of course anyone can celebrate the religious holiday if they wish, but the religious aspect is completely ignored by the government. Again, there is cultural significance to these days, even if you choose not to take part in the religious aspect. I would have no problem living in a foreign nation and getting a day off and calling it by the prevalent religion's name without taking part in the religious aspects. Heck, I might even go ahead and take part in the religious aspects, just to understand the people better!
Finally, where I work and where so many work, you cannot display Christmas decorations at Christmas time. To me, this is not appropriate. Would you ask a Buddhist not to display a Buddha statuette on his or her desk? Would you ask a Wiccan to remove plants from his or her work area? I think that these things would be overstepping bounds. And Christmas has been secularized to the point that one need not even allude to Christian origins. Why can I not celebrate what is part of my culture, simply because other people don't share that cultural identification?
