speaking of both religion and freedom of speech, i find the current state of things in the washington state house kind of pleasing. the guy who sued to put a nativity scene there (there had been an allegedly nondenominational xmas tree, then one year also a menorah, so he sued to get a nativity there as well) is, in fact, totally in favor of the atheists who put a secular holiday greeting in the lobby there as well.

i love examples of "let's just get along and agree to disagree" actually working.
