I think that experience opened my eyes to just how ridiculous people can be in expecting the non-christian world to revolve around the Christian religion without making adjustments for minorities.

I think it just proves how ridiculous some of those law students are, and that they think the world revolves around them
Of course we live in a state that is super religious, and mostly of the Mitt Romney variety, but I'm a Christian Protestant and even I couldn't believe the Christmas trees and other decorations in public buildings. In a private business or home, sure, but on government property I find it questionable. Where I work they used to close from Christmas to New Years, and now if people want to work (other than Christmas and New Years Day) they can. I was the only person scheduled to cover the office today and that's fine, heck I would've worked yesterday as long as I could attend a morning service.
