what did you take to be ignorant?

is december 25th and easter monday statutary holidays in the US or not? are people not of christian faith allowed to continue trading and attending school on december 25th and easter monday or not?

the USA isn't the only country that has a democratic structure...

and as i said nz and australia have the same statutary holidays. i'm certainly not bashing the us. i was suggesting a change was all.

also...

as i said it is very controversial (in the us as well) whether all that is promised is freedom OF religion or whether it includes freedom FROM religion.

i understand that you interpret it as the former...

but there are plenty of people in the us who think it intends the latter...

and it is very controversial.

even if all that was intended was freedom OF and not freedom FROM you don't think that church and state should be seperate so that people who aren't christian are allowed to continue trading etc and have their religious holidays (or alternative holidays) instead?
