    That position requires a willful ignorance of the difference between a religious symbol and a religious practice.

    Do you really think it’s a coincidence that the law carves out a specific prohibition on religious practices that doesn’t affect Christians, the dominant religious group? Your flag has a cross on it.

            I see.

            Well thanks for confirming some things I have always suspected about Christianity in general and European Christianity in particular.

              “We can’t allow distinctive religious or cultural symbols representing the state!”

              “What about that one right there?”

              “Well, obviously that one is allowed. It’s a part of who we are!”

                Emphasis on “we”

                Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition …There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.
