There is nothing inherently offensive about putting up a manger scene on Christmas. It is a religious symbol honoring Jesus, who many people believe is the son of God. I have no problem with that.
However, I don't believe it. If someone puts a manger on their front lawn or whatever, great. I'm truly glad that they are religious. But when the government puts it up, it says that Christianity is an officially preferred religion, and I won't abide that. The government should prefer no religion and, in fact, should not prefer religion over not having a religion.
