Religious Symbols as War Memorials

RE: Religious Symbols as War Memorials
I don't think you can ever completely eliminate it. But the good weapon to either keep them from putting it up, or make them remove it is to give them two choices

1. Let it all in
or
2. Keep it religion neutral

Many times the theocrats who insist on a pecking order will take it down and falsely claim opression, when the reality is that they want a monopoly of that venue.

But something like the Natinal Cemitary which increasingly is alowing more than simply Christians and Jews burried there, I don't think you will find enough people to agree to remove all those crosses.

But I do think it is reasonable that if one is attempting a monopoly of a given venue you can argue to compete for that venue to, or challenge them to back off and keep it neutral.

I think ultimately in law it will always be a mixed bag and we will take two steps forward and a step back from time to time. But more and more in a mass media society monopolies are going to be harder in a pluralistic society to set up and maintain.
