But above you said that "...all faiths... show their beliefs... if they
pay taxes...". That's one thing.
Second, how do you propose a public place should accommodate any and all
religious taxpayers who insists that their symbols be included as well
among hundreds of others?
Third, how do you propose the system will verify that the petitioner for
his religious symbol in a public place actually pays taxes, and what
makes you think this requirement is constitutional?

There isn't one, unless one insists that the inability to force his own
religion upon everyone is somehow the problem.

Look up the difference between secularism and atheism, idiot. If you are
lacking in education, go back to school. Either way, educate yourself
before making an even bigger ass of yourself.

Of course it has. Google "washington state capitol rotunda" for details.
Once you allow one religious display, you have to be prepared to allow
hundreds of others, including the clearly offensive ones such as KKK and
so on. The solution is to enforce the secular laws and tell all of them
to go fuck themselves.

"You wont be allowed too" doesn't parse as an English sentence, so I
have no clue what you meant. Btw, in case you didn't know, generally
only bona fide religions are allowed the officially religious status.
Atheism is not one of them. And there's no such thing as an "atheist tree".

Feel free to go fuck yourself with your religious bullshit or maybe move
to a country where the state = church and the church = state. You'd be
much happier there. The rest of us prefer to live in a secular state
that is not being run by religious lunatics.
