    We should also not allow Muslim/buddhist/whatever displays in the town hall, but what is so wrong about separating religion from state?

    It's fine, so long as you're not separating Christianity, apparently.

    Posts going around, connecting 2-3 fancier words in sentences, in their attempts to explain why destroying the pillars of western culture is a good thing. It is sad to see "progressive" people not understanding the value of culture, yes religion is an integral part of it. The culture is above all else, it defines everything, from technology to social development.
    Now, if you would like said culture destroyed and really hate its achievements, then it is a totally different topic.
    I fail to see how wanting a secular government is "anti-religion" at all. It's "anti-religious-privilege". Wanting a government that gives no religion preference or privilege over any other (or over no religion) seems like a solidly reasonable thing. None of this "destroying culture" stuff, just "keep it out of the government". Yeah, people exist who want to actively get rid of religion everywhere (anti-theists), but it's not that big of a thing.

    As for the "only anti-Christian", at least in the US, it's because the other major religions don't play such a large role. We don't see laws inspired by Hindu practices and don't see people wanting to put sacred cow sculptures in front of city halls. So it's natural to see it as "anti-Christian", when it's really "anti-religion-in-government".

    None of this is about removing people's right to practice their religion. Putting up religious symbols in a public city hall isn't practicing your religion, it's the government endorsing one. Basically no one short of those anti-theists wants to stop people from putting whatever they want on their property or person.
