"The statue's secular and irreverent uses far outweigh the few religious uses it has served. The statue is most frequently used as a meeting point for skiers or hikers and a site for photo opportunities, rather than a solemn place for religious reflection," the judge wrote in the ruling, according to the Associated Press. "Typical observers of the statue are more interested in giving it a high-five or adorning it in ski gear than sitting before it in prayer."
