Gubernatorial candidates in Montgomery, Alabama, state their concern over monuments on government property not Jewish or Christian in nature. They would like all religious faiths to be able to express themselves, but would prefer a certain brand, as it were. Most believe that the Bible is literally true, all advocate prayer in schools, and most believe in creationism over evolution. I find this coincidental array of characteristics quite hilarious. The hypocrisy of the situation is maddening, as government officials say that they want a balance of expression, but in reality that only applies to their own religion. This directly undermines the First Amendment, and is another prime example of how church and state should remain separate. No religious monuments should stand if not all are free to.
