Religious Symbols on Public Property

As someone who is not Christian, I don't care for the presence of religious symbols on public property. This is because those religious symbols generally are associated with Christianity since majority of the people in America are Christian. Its not that I'm against religions accept my own, Judaism, but I think that the use of mainly Christian symbols is an unfair representation and gives the idea that other religions aren't as important. I like looking at Christmas lights during the holidays and I don't think people should stop putting them up on public property. They should just limit the use of extremely religious symbols like Christmas scenes, crosses, etc. Maybe when a town hall lights their Christmas tree, they can also light a menorah or provide representation for other religions.
