I'm surprised (and pleased) that he didn't. His restraint seems to address exactly what you're talking about -- the need to recognize that we live in a pluralistic society where many different faiths are celebrated. And he specifically did reference menorah candles etc in the public square, so these cries seem to fall on deaf ears.
Here's a question -- is pluralism the same thing as secularism? [/B]
But if he referenced JC any chance of Jewish voters or non-believers would be out the door. So he played it smart. He said all religions but spoke in CC code. The Europe bashing the taking our nativity scenes these are all whinigs of the CCs.
Is pluralism the same as secularism? No but a truly pluralistic society would treat all religions equal and not treat them based on percentages. You honestly think those people who get pissed off at 'Happy Holidays' or 'Season's Greetings' want to live in a truly pluralistic society? Hell no. They want theirs and that's it.
