I tend to agree... but in this case I can also clearly see the concern. It may be a small one, but this IS a government endorsement (and display of favoritism) towards one religion. For separation of church and state to mean anything the state simply cannot play favorites. ANY appearance of doing so should be avoided like the plague. That's what scares me more: we've got many people in positions of governmental power that don't understand this simple and absolutely fundamental aspect of our society. In the small scale: who gives a shit what some holy-rollers stick on their cars. In the large scale: we've got fuckers running this country (or large parts of it) that apparently have either never read the Constitution, completely failed to understand it or just don't give a shit about it... any of those options are shudder-inducing.
