Public funds for M'Boro Bible park

Rep. Donna Rowland (R-Murfreesboro) has asked for an Attorney General's opinion on the proposed Bible Park in the Murfreesboro area. http://www.dnj.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080410/NEWS01/80410024

Developers argue rather strangely that the park is not religious in the sense that anyone--religious or not--can visit the park. Um, the last time I checked, almost anyone can visit a worship service about anywhere in the state. I've certainly attended worship services in cases in which I was not an adherent of that tradition. Does that mean they're not religious?

The park will feature scenes of the Crucifixion, the "Rapture," etc.
