Of course not. It's not a matter of hating Christianity or anything, it's just against our Constitution.

If you use logic, you can very easily see why no person who believes in our constitution would think that a government could display religious symbols. Whenever the government does something, the government does it with tax money. EVERYONE in society pays taxes, so those taxes should go towards things that could potentially benefit EVERYONE. You can't put the tax dollars of a strict Buddhist towards the nativity scene. That's not fair.

People should be allowed to put up and display whatever they want on their own houses, yards, etc...But the government can only display generic things (happy holidays! etc...) because they are purchasing those things with EVERYONE's money.
