The 'establishment of religion' clause of the First Amendment means at least this: Neither a state nor the Federal Government can set up a church. Neither can pass laws which aid one religion, aid all religions or prefer one religion over another. Neither can force nor influence a person to go to or to remain away from church against his will or force him to profess a belief or disbelief in any religion. No person can be punished for entertaining or professing religious beliefs or disbeliefs, for church attendance or non-attendance. No tax in any amount, large or small, can be levied to support any religious activities or institutions, whatever they may be called, or whatever form they may adopt to teach or practice religion. Neither a state nor the Federal Government can, openly or secretly, participate in the affairs of any religious organizations or groups and vice versa. In the words of Jefferson, the clause against establishment of religion by law was intended to erect 'a wall of separation between Church and State

So I watch for "overboardness" in both the left and right of the political spectrum and IMO going after the Easter bunny fits the bill. Now throw that one in with the ACLU/Boy scouts thing and it does raise a question of just how much separation do you really want ? Do you really want prohibition on any sort of what may be construed as religious symbolism by...somebody....somewhere, banned in publicly owned spaces ? Even if they're paying full rent for that space ?
It's a freedom of expression thing.

Not only that... but I was like, wait, People like Tom are on the board, so I should put it in bold. So I did. (I changed it to caps in this post so you can find it.)
And then I was like, "Wait, wait... people like Tom are going to get confused and bring up stuff like the racist south compared to a liberal center of the UK" so I wrote:
(...)
Then I was like, "Well, maybe people like Tom will skim the first couple of times I said it, so I should make sure to say it again as clearly as possible":
(...)
Then I was like, "Well, maybe people like Tom need me to explain it in more detail that I'm not suggesting that there aren't racist places in the US so I'll say it again":
(...)
I then kept the arguement on the liberal centers as not to confuse people like Tom (again, NOT the south) in the US by saying:
(...)
Then I was like, "Well, maybe people like Tom forgot that I was just talking about the liberal centers and will get caught up with things like the south so I'd better make sure I refocus us on the liberal centers by saying:"
(...)
Thinking, well, maybe I haven't said it enough for people like Tom, I'd better say it again:
(...)
At this point, I'm like... "Well, people like Tom must surely get it now... but I'll say it again for people like Tom
(...)
Then, after bludgeoning the issue to death and making sure the people like Tom surely understand that I'm only talking about my own liberal centers in places like New York City and NOT conservative centers like the south...
