I don't believe a state/municipal/federal employ should be promoting any religion or social agenda while on duty. Don't care if its religion, sexuality, gender etc.
Y'all tend to believe it want to be anti-christian, im anti forced participation in someone's religious practices. I have Christian religious iconography( including the st Christopher's medal i keep in my truck) on display in my own room that was given to me in a spirit of kindness and love.
There is a difference between personal expression and practice, and forced participation. Abrahamics in general seem to struggle with the separation of the two.
I have an icon of the holy family in my office, clearly visible and impossible to miss. Am I forcing everyone who walks into it to participate in or practice my faith? I think you might be struggling to separate the two things. I don't force people to offer sacrifices to their creator at the point of a gun even though they should. You're the one who thinks self governance means 'everyone gets to wield power except Christians' or Christians are fine as long as their faith doesn't inform their decisions about how to govern. If the public wants Christianity, you would object. If California votes to codify the traditional understand of marriage between one man and one woman, you're good with the courts telling them it's too bad. You're fine with gay stuff in the classroom. Just not Christianity.
If a secular humanist posted some generic thing according to their faith in their classroom about being kind and accepting and compassionate, like an excerpt from the humanist manifesto that opposes racism or something... would you have a problem with that, and why or why not?
