Merry Christmas for Atheists

An Arkansas judge rules that "freethinkers" can set up a holiday display with images of Albert Einstein, Eleanor Roosevelt and Bill Gates (What Gates has to do with anything "free" is beyond me), next to the Nativity scene at the state capitol. As Blue Arkansas said:

Not every Arkansan celebrates Christmas you know, and if one religion is entitled to be represented in state government then they all are.


The true test for freedom of religion will be when an image of Mohamed is erected on the town square during Ramadan (or whatever the Muslim equivalent of Nativity during Christmas would be).

An image of Mohammed? Somehow I'm not sure that would fly.

Wv: disestr - What would happen if someone put up an image of Mohammed.
