WHAT HAPPENED TO FREEDOM OF RELEGION?

This really burns me up so I will not say much on the subject.

(Yahoo News) Christ is missing from Christmas in this small town. The community's holiday display has a manger with shepherds, a guiding star, camels and a palm tree, but no baby Jesus, Mary or Joseph.

The parks superintendent said Jesus was left out because of concerns about the separation of church and state. But Mayor Dick Callaway said it was done for purely technical reasons: "It's not easy to put a light-up representation of a baby in a small manger scene, you know."
In recent years, some communities around the country have dropped nativity scenes after the displays were challenged as unconstitutional. Unconstitutional?? Freedom of Religion is one isn't it, and this is UNconstitutional to me because I happen to be Christian as MOST Americans are, and I cannot enjoy my own religion in my own Country. Ok, I'll stop now.
