Most people are ok with nativity scenes on public property? Wow. What a revelation, considering that the majority of this country is either Christian or just doesn't care . . . .

FOXNews.com - FOX News/Opinion Dynamics Poll - FOX News Poll - Majority OK With Public Nativity Scenes

An overwhelming majority of Americans supports allowing nativity scenes on public property. However, a smaller number — but still a clear majority — thinks if Christian holiday symbols are placed on public property that other religious symbols, such as a Jewish menorah (search), must also be displayed.

The latest FOX News poll finds that fully 87 percent of Americans say nativity scenes should be allowed on public property and only nine percent disagree. The poll, conducted by Opinion Dynamics Corporation, also finds 61 percent believe that if Christmas symbols are displayed that symbols from other religions should also be included. Less than a third of Americans (28 percent) approve of displaying Christian symbols on public property without recognizing other religions.
