If the framers of the Constitution had wanted this to be a Christian country, they could – and would – have done so. However, they deliberately preserved our right to practice any religion, not merely our right to practice any brand of Christianity. You make a good point that the separation of church and state was in response to the British state-sanctioned religion. How is posting Christian symbols in government buildings different from the British practice the framers of the Constitutition found objectionable?
