Is it the purpose of a democracy to protect the least common denominator, or is it to govern within the auspices of majority opinion?

I do not have a fact book in front of me, but I would posit that the majority of American citizens do believe in a higher power.

It is also an uneducated opinion of mine that what is so great about America is that like minded people can congregate into communities and are free to live within their faith. They have freedom of religion.

I believe that if the majority of a community believe in the same religious tenets, that community should be free to have a monument of the Ten Commandments on display. If it offends, one is free to seek out many other cities within the US that have similar views as themselves.

Lastly I feel the fabric of our American tapestry should remain unfranchised.
