I wonder what you mean by "public displays" here. Most places wouldn't care if your average church or homeowner wanted to set up some sort of religious scene on their own front lawn. But no locale should be actively hosting the display of ANY religious symbolism lest they get into the sticky issue of separation of church and state
Back home the city used to allow the Catholic church to set up a small, tasteful nativity scene in a little park across from the county building. They don't anymore, and I think it's a good thing. (No, none of the other faiths get to do it either.)
