Christianity represents good values. There are some who call themselves Christians who don't display the attributes that back up their claim. They ruin it for everyone else.

Christians don't own any position -- we're just normal people. God owns the good guy's position on everything. That doesn't have anything to do with the government. Government can't make someone righteous by enacting laws. Likewise, having a manger scene in the town square does not interfere with your right to do whatever you want. There is no freedom from religion. There's only freedom from having the government tell you what you must worship. In fact, the government can even follow religious precepts, as long as they're not preventing you from worshiping or not as you choose. For example, if you don't want to put your hand on a bible in court, you no longer have to. That doesn't mean that there can't be a bible in the courtroom. Grow up. (not you, flint, i'm just venting)
