14. That's an easy one!
Discrimination starts at double standards right?

Now: what would be the standards to define "religious art". I seriously dare you to come up with a definition tht includes all.

And: how will we make sure that the same standards are applied throughout all government buildings?

And: will shared offices fall under this definition - and if so, will government employees have to remove their personal religious attire (a prayer print on the desk, a sticker in the shape of a cross on their computer)?

As I said: removing things is much more controversial than placing them somewhere. Removal says: "This is no longer acceptable", and people will want to know why. And if your justification boils down to: "Because I don't believe in your God", chances are the explanation will not be bought.
