It's just that your blanket statements are open to (and easy to) debate:

"...only Christians that want to make a public display..." -- Not true

"...no hare krishna football coaches" -- How do you know?

There are many religions that make public display...Wailing Wall, anyone? And when you speak of proselytizing, have you ever been visited at home by the Mormons and Seventh-Day Adventists?

I wasn't trying to "get you" - just making a correction. Challenging your statement is NOT denigrating you or calling you names.
