separation of church and state?

You failed to mention if there's Christian mountains where the US took the tops off of, OR just mountains where Christians want to control them?

If the mountains are in the USA, we can make them Christian by voting Republican. If they are somewhere else in the world, anybody's guess.

3. Actually, the Christmas Tree is a secular symbol
Christian have adopted it. But the tree was used as far back as the old testaments by (heathens)Jeremiah 10:2-4: when Christianity didn't even exist. :shrug:

4. Pagan symbol before Christian--- like so much
Protesting a decorated tree to represent the holidays--whether religious or secular, seems to me to be a real diversion of attention away from that which really matters if one is concerned with issues of church-state separation. Those who would do so, are likely to find a rather intense backlash--from the full range or perspectives.
