We have seen the many court cases about separation of church and state regarding the displays of Christian symbols in public places such as Nativity scenes and displays symbolizing the 10 Commandments even in courthouses. In virtually all cases, these promotions of Christianity courts have ruled these displays are violations of "Separation of Church and State." This is more technically known as violations of the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment - "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion..."
Tomorrow because it is Christmas, Federal, State and local courts will be closed. Federal, State and local government employees will get a paid holiday. Hourly government employees that work tomorrow will receive premium pay for working on Christmas day. The Federal Reserve Bank is closed, forcing commercial banks to be closed on Christmas as well. There are no US Postal Service deliveries on Christmas day. City counsels will not meet on Christmas day.
There are only two individuals with Federal Holidays in honor of their birth - Martin Luther King and Christ.
One of the greatest displays of Christianity by Federal, State and Local government are all the things that government does to treat Christmas as a government holiday.
If 10 Commandments and Nativity scenes in public spaces are violations of the Establishment Clause and separation of church and state; isn't closing government offices on Christmas day a far greater violation of the separation of Church and State by government? Isn't this a far more visible and grander display of Christianity by government at every level?
Isn't the expenditure of government money and other resources far greater by paying government employees on Christmas day for a day off from work, or paying them much higher premium pay for working that day - than the display of a statue holding tablets with Roman Numerals from I to X?
Or maybe, we should accept that aspects of religion are part of our world and need to be accommodated by government - and should not be seen as a violation the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment.
Some people believe that it is rude to discuss politics or religion on Christmas eve - I don't.
