Article I of the MN Constitution.
The purple on buildings has nothing to do with Prince's religious beliefs as he was a very private person about his religion. That's about his music.
I do not own any of his CDs and probably have not knowingly listened to a song of his in decades.

Yeah.
So why is Prince, a highly private and reclusive
private-sector figure, celebrated/honored/adored with costly lighting shows at public taxpayer expense, while other public-sector leaders and benefactors are not??
We already know the answer, and it is
Hollywood media partisan preferences.
Also, it is
mistaken to say Prince "was a very private person about his religion". This article from 2010 below, and many others, told about how he "dazzled fans" when he went out "knocking on doors" as Jehovah's Witness members do.
Knocking on doors of strangers (and children alone at home without an adult present), and persisting with the magazine subscription, is hardly keeping one's religion "private".
