        After 2000 years of murder, torture and abuse, Christianity doesn't have clean hands.

        The bible is disgraceful. Worshipping a psychopathic deity? Isn't there some contradiction in a Christians hands are clean?

        what logical justification does the government have for doing this? Does this help the economy & general well being of the people?

        No problem - Churches don't need crosses. The Gospel message about the Cross is what's needed.

        Human nature being what it is, the best way to get rid of religion is probably just to let it run its course.
