Basically, it is religion-neutral in that it neither promotes nor downplays anyone's religion. Given the number of religious folks around here, I'm surprised in some ways that they don't try to inject more jesus stuff into the school, but they've struck a fair balance, in my opinion.
Of course trying to ignore Christmas at Christmas time and Easter at Easter time downplays Christianity!!

How is that a fair balance?
