Reply #132: Try to answer the question next time

[Blue_Chill]

I asked what it forced anyone to do. You failed to answer.

but since you did manage to shake the visions of invading popes in your head long enough to bang out that post I'll respond.

1. proselytization with public money.

Proselytize: To induce someone to convert to one's own religious faith

I have never found art to induce me to do anything but look at it. It's not like I'm asking for monitors to be set up on the national mall with religious comercials running 24/7.

2. promotion of christianity in the government

No. It would be acknowledging the background and beliefs of the nations citizens that follow a religion. I find nothing wrong with appreciating those around you. Nor have I ever said it would be limited to Christian symbols.
