I am a teacher, I wear a crucifix on my necklace.

Allow Yes/No? Yes
Why? Because you should be able to do whatever you want as long as you don't infringe on other peoples right (ie. stab someone with your cross for know reason).

The voters of County X vote to hold a Christmas Pagent sponsored by the town of XX.
All funds are raised by bake sales and the proceeds go to the local orphange.

Alllow Yes/No? Yes
Why? Because you raised the funds yourself and, since no one else helped, it's non of their business.

Congress passess a law stating that the Epicaplian Religion is the offical US Religion.

Allow Yes/No? No
Why? Because you have freedom of religion in this country; because it is unconstitutional, there is a seperation of Church and State; because I don't want anyone telling me to go to church if I don't want to.

The town of X allows the local Mosque to use city equipment to make the call to prayer.

Allow Yes/No? Yes
Why? Only if it is a service the city provides, and only if it's not exclusive to the Mosque. I think cities should be free to use their property as they wish, provided that it's not being used to infringe on other peoples right (see answers to questions 1 and 3).

One vote for Michael Badnarik for President. One vote that won't be wasted this year.
