A Legal Alternative- Religious Signs on Private Property

One of the most difficult concepts for non-lawyers is the sharp Constitutional line between governmental action and private action. Today's Winston-Salem Journal reports on the increasing use of private property for the posting of religious symbols. Increasingly, religious slogans and Biblical passages are posted on private land along well-traveled roadsides and on billboards. For example, on a scenic route to Daniel Boone National Forest in Kentucky, a roadside landowner has posted a sign reading "Warning / Jesus is coming / RU Ready?". Everyone agrees, there are no constitutional problems here.
