I wish the answers weren't so vague.

Wrong again. Your religious symbols will be different from those of other religions. If a display is not open to all it has to be closed to all. Not allowing those on your side to break the law is not supporting atheists.

Don't make false accusations about the logic of others when you can't seem to reason properly yourself.

No one said displays are not open to all.

That they are not appear to be that way from context. If they are open to all people tend to make sure that is well known.

Which Ten Commandments are we talking about?

You better read the dictionary on what establishment means.

I can understand why this is confusing for you.

I wish the answers weren't so vague.

Given the sheer amoumt of precedence, it seems silly to start rattling off cases.

 

[Curious George]

No one said displays are not open to all.

The law specifically targets the Ten Commandments.

That is what Oklahoma city said until the Satanic Temple erected a statue to Baphomet on the Capitol lawn. Then they took religious statues down real quick.

I have asked a form of this question too. No one has answered yet.

Maybe you are confused if you do not know what establishment means.

The law specifically targets the Ten Commandments.

Nothing is targeted. The law ALLOWS the Ten Commandments.

 

[Revoltingest]

Nothing is targeted. The law ALLOWS the Ten Commandments.

Does it allow any other religions to post their commandments,
proscriptions, prescriptions, tenets, or advice?

 

[Subduction Zone]

Nothing is targeted. The law ALLOWS the Ten Commandments.

And only the Ten Commandments, it is unconstitutional as written.

Maybe you are confused if you do not know what establishment means.

The problem is that you do not understand what the term "establishment clause" means and now you are trying to perform an equivocation fallacy.

Actually I would be very happy to hear what it means to say the government shall not establish religion but also shall not deny the right of citizens to practice religion. Perhaps you would be so kind as to educate myself and others.

Nothing is targeted. The law ALLOWS the Ten Commandments.

Are you trying to misunderstand? The law is specifically aimed at allowing the Ten Commandments in schools.

 

[Curious George]

Maybe you are confused if you do not know what establishment means.

I understand well what it means and how it is applied in the context of constitutional law. The discussion requires critical thought.

Where are they denying people the right to practice religion?

You did not answer the question so I guess the discussion is over. Better luck next time.

You said can improper question. That means you lost.

Here is an example:

Have you quit beating your wife yet?

That question has a (hopefully) false assumption in it. As did your question. You asked a question that could not be answered as you asked it.
