they could not, regardless of interpretation, be denied from displaying a

Exactly, what about the various Native American religions, Shintism(?),
druidism and many others? It is not a simple question.
--------------------
Perhaps not, but the question is more complex. Imagine if you were to put a
triptych in a courthouse with scenes from the Christian Bible, the Jewish
Torah, and the Islamic Koran. Then you have a Buddhist appear to argue a
parking ticket. Do you think that he would feel that he would get a fair
trial? Further, suppose the local Wiccan congregation or Atheists ask to put
something up. That just might not go over well.
See where it can lead...?
