I think its more about local governments/companies/school districts being fearful of an ACLU lawsuit. Its a whole lot easier to prevent a harmless yet potential controversial event from happening altogether.

This is with all things in life. There are people who are never happy unless its their way. And somehow these people get personal gratification from preventing school kids from seeing "A Christmas Carol" Why? Because it has the word Christ in it? The story itself has nothing to do with Christ, and barely anything to do with Christmas. Replace Christmas with "Generic family togetherness and gift giving day" Would the children be able to see it then.

Back in the day it was the overwhelming Christian society pushing its values on the minority.
In present days its the small amount of people in society dictating what the majority of people can say or do. All in the name of 'equality'

I do agree with you that the government was trying to control us and still are. But if its not religion it will be something else.

Further seperation of church and state is not the only solution, in fact, it will most likelyll only spawn other problems.

I would much rather have the government have the 10 commandments at a courthouse then for them to limit my freedoms because of my race/age/tax bracket
