> Should policemen be celebrating religious festivals in their stations in a > secular state, which ought to have no link with religion? No, there should be no such celebration for any religious festival/feast for the following reasons: 1. The policemen/women are employed to police, not celebrate religious festivals. 2. Policemen/women can privately celebrate to their heart's content. 3. Public taxpayer money should be used for public services and the minimum necessary govt. expenditures. 4. Separation of church and state works well to keep a large segment of the population from imposing their views on a minority.
