Reply to comment by isaacfisher in Menorah lit inside Capitol in Harrisburg by citytiger

I think the issue is that the government is the one celebrating one religion exclusively. We tend to want less religion involved in our politics not more

It's quite the opposite, its acknowledging a minority religion, and not* involving it in politics. Hannukah btw is not very religious holiday. Definitely not one of the main holy-days of Judaism, almost secular

Sorry, I meant not involving in politics. It's just acknowledging not involving. And its another religion other than the mainstream one.

So as long as it's a minority religion you'd be ok with it being involved in politics?
