Anti-Christian Supreme Court Rulings

• Skiros v. City of New York (2006) - This case ruled in favor of the New York City public school system, which had banned the display of nativity scenes, but allowed religious symbols of Hanukkah and Ramadan to be displayed.

• Santa Fe Independent School Dist. v. Doe (2000) - This case ruled that a policy permitting student-led, student-initiated prayer at football games violates the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment. This is despite the fact that 92% of Americans believe in God.

• County of Allegheny v. ACLU (1989) - During the holiday season, the Allegheny County Courthouse in Pennsylvania displayed a nativity scene, a Christmas tree, and a Menorah. The Supreme Court ruled that the Menorah and the (secular) Christmas tree were allowed, but that the display of the nativity scene was unconstitutional. This is despite a poll showing that 87% of Americans say nativity scenes should be allowed on public property.

• Edwards v. Aguillard (1987) - The State of Louisiana passed a law requiring any public school that taught evolution to also teach creation science as an alternative theory; however, the Supreme Court ruled this law unconstitutional, claiming that it was intended to promote religion.

• Lee v. Weisman (1992) - The Supreme Court ruled that inviting local clergy members to offer non-denominational prayers at high school graduations violated the First Amendment, claiming that doing so amounted to religious coercion.

Other things have come under attack as well. References to Christmas are frequently removed during the month of December by schools, businesses, and the media. Instead, secular terms such as "winter vacation" are used, despite the fact that 96% of Americans celebrate Christmas. Additionally, a poll in 2002 showed that 62% of Americans celebrate Christmas specifically as the birth of Christ.

In 2005, the American Atheists filed a lawsuit, which sought to remove steel crosses that dot roadways throughout Utah and memorialize Utah Highway Patrol troopers who have died in the line of duty. Groups like American Atheists, the ACLU, and others want crosses removed from every public cemetery and war memorial in the United States, including Arlington National Cemetery. Lawsuits such as this one are meant to establish test cases and precedents for their liberal agenda.

“God governs in the affairs of man. And if a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without his notice, is it probable that an empire can rise without His aid? We have been assured in the Sacred Writings that except the Lord build the house, they labor in vain that build it. I firmly believe this. I also believe that, without His concurring aid, we shall succeed in this political building no better than the builders of Babel.” - Benjamin Franklin
