More Separation of Church and State Nonsense

The City of Ventura faces suit for having a Latin cross monumnet in a public park.

Stan Kohls, a resident of nearby Somis and another of the men complaining about the cross, said the symbol represents a dangerous intrusion of religion into public life.

"All you have to do is look at Israel or Northern Ireland to see how destructive religion can be when it is brought out in public," said the semiretired special education teacher. "A society that is democratic must be secular as well."

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't the two biggest mass murderers in history, the Soviet Union and Communist China, consider themselves to be democratic (they had popular elections) as well as officially secular?
