But I don't understand why the court says that a menorah is not a religious symbol and a nativity scene is and therefore cannot be seen in a gov establishment (but a menorah can be).

I don't know which court ruled this way, but a menorah is a religious symbol as much as a nativity scene.

And I don't understand why the tree at City hall has to be called the holiday tree instead of the Christmas tree.

Because Christmas is a religious holiday and symbols of a religious holiday are religious symbols.

When you think about it, a nativity scene is only religious to those who believe in it's meaning. To someone who is not Christian, it is only a baby being born. I don't find anything religious about that.

Wrong. Anyone can see what is being conveyed through a symbol and can see that it isn't just a baby being born.
