'We must remember Constitution promises freedom 'of' religion not 'from' religion'

Even though the display of the Nativity is constitutionally protected, as long as other belief triaditions have equal access, organizations such as the Freedom from Religion and Americans Uniter for Separation do not pursue constitutionally protected rights of the Christian faith. Instead they issue threatening letters and legal actions to eliminate the expressions of Christian faith from public display. Their goal is not to defend baby Jesus' legal rights but to have him imprisoned.
