Typical intolerance- We were putting up Christmas decorations at the office today and someone told me we could not hang put up a decoration that said Merry Christmas. It seems like there is an atheist somewhere in our office and this is an EO violation. So the actions of the many are dictated by the religion of the one.
If you look at this correctly the government is interfering in religion because Christmas is a religious holiday and we celebrate it. I have never heard any one complain about the offensiveness of halloween, which is also has at heart a religious, albeit evil origin.

You can either allow all religious displays or allow no religious displays. That isn’t discrimination, it is by definition the opposite of discrimination. Letting everyone BUT christians put up a religious display would be discrimination. Christians are not in any way discriminated against in america.
@agnophilo - If people want to be Christian and are in good order to tell them they msut also honor another religion, they do not believe is discrimination. This is true for others as well but Christians are one of the most reviled because men fear true Christianity.
@New1E13_15 - That is not a coherent response to what I just said. We have laws and workplace rules to deal with things like this because we live in a pluralistic culture and the goal is to give everyone equal rights and an equal voice. It’s not about christianity. Christians aren’t the only people in a workplace or the country or the world.
