Question

An organization of atheists sues the city of lakeville for its annual holiday display. each year, the display is in a public park and includes a christmas tree, a menorah, and a crèche. the atheists feel that the display is an endorsement of religion by the city government and demand that it be removed or that the religious symbols be replaced with secular winter seasonal items. what right is at issue in this case?

Answer 1

Given the occurrence of the case described above, the right that is at issue is the free exercise of religion. The right to free exercise of religion (otherwise called Freedom of Religion) gives every citizen the right to choose any religion (or no religion at all) without interference by the government.
