free response #3-religious symbols on public property

I feel that the display of religious symbols on public property during the holidays is a right that people have to express themselves. we have the freedom of religion, and freedom of speech. besides, religious symbols are displayed everywhere around us, not just during the holidays, "in god we trust" is on our coins and there are many references to god in our historical documents which are displayed all over america for the public to see, what would be the point in terminatiing the right to display other religious symbols, especially on a holiday where all types of religions are honored? to deny that right would mean changing everything america stands for, we'd have to pretty much take every religious reference out of everything,historical monuments,documents,money, even the pledge of allegiance. displays that include the menorah or manger,etc, should be on display because we, as americans have the right to display our religion.people have died to protect that right because it would be hypocritical for us to have religion displayed in one sense, but not in another, especially during the holidays when religion is most highly acknowledged.
