> Lynch and Allegheny support my position as that the association committed intentional religious discrimination. You see, you do not know what the issues are.

No, it's not at all likely that the Allegheny case supports your position. The decision was mixed and involved multi-element displays on government property. To think it means that a wreath in a condo complex violates your civil rights is ridiculous. Why would the supreme court itself display holiday wreaths if it had ruled it to be unconstitutional? As usual, you take a grain of a grain of reality and warp it into nonsense.

> Let me ask you this. Could the condo association place symbols related to Christendom and refuse the Jews to be allowed to have thee menorah included with those symbols?

Yes, they probably could refuse. It happened at Boston Public Library, and the request was refused because wreaths were considered secular.

The EEOC has also stated that wreaths, trees, and lights are secular as determined by the SCOTUS. It's extremely unlikely that you'd see a different ruling under the fair housing laws.

> Also, symbols used by religions are religious if those symbols have other symbols placed on them. Like if a Christmas tree has a star on top, then that tree is a religious symbol if it stands alone as per Allegheny and Lynch.

Maybe, but all you have to do is add a plastic reindeer. Then it's secular. Happy Holidays!
