Humanist Group Wins Court Case; Nativity Scene at Courthouse Comes Down

U.S. District Judge Timothy L. Brooks issued his decision today, determining that the display violated the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, and ordered that Baxter County must either “refrain from placing any religiously sectarian seasonal display on the courthouse grounds” or “create a public forum on the courthouse grounds for a seasonal display open to persons of all faiths as well as of no faith at all, without discrimination on the basis of viewpoint.”

Nativity Scene in Wadena, MN Comes Down After Complaint

WADENA, Minn. -- The Wadena city council voted unanimously but hesitantly to remove a beloved nativity scene from a city park Tuesday night...

...Tuesday's council meeting was packed. Resident after resident spoke up in favor of keeping the display. But fear of a lawsuit convinced the council and Mayor Deiss it was time to break with tradition. They voted to donate the display to the local Ministerial Association, who can showcase the display on private property.

Fortunately we live a free speech society, but sometimes-negative billboards can have the opposite affect. But let’s face facts most people enjoy Christmas.

Just call it a violation of the U.S. Constitution, the Government does.

Christmas is an official U.S. holiday and it does not violate the U.S. Constitution in any way, even if it is considered a religious holiday.

If you want an atheistic government, move to the former Soviet Union.

The City of Orange (Texas) had a nativity scene at their city hall. The Orange County Atheists of Texas put in a request to put up their own display, namely this banner...

Rather than share the public space, the city decided to remove the nativity scene, showing once again that what these Christians truly want is exclusive access and special privileges for themselves only.

In the constitutionally Christian UK, we have two days holiday for Christmas and another two for Easter.

Out of ten federal holidays, nine are secular, and you don't get an Easter Holiday - for what good reason is that omission?

Hackers trace ISIS Twitter accounts to web addresses owned by UK govt

Your link says that the IP addresses used are owned by Saudi Arabia. Perhaps you need to read more carefully.

So, what message do you think is given by the US only committing one federal public holiday to Christian festivals? Seems to suggest that the government is trying to be secular, to me.
