I hope the PAN folks know that human sacrifice is illegal since christianity rescued most people from barbarity in their homelands.

Pennsylvania Nonbelievers had nothing to do with the removal of the creche. They offered to place a memorial to atheist war veterans.
It is the Chambersburg board that decided to reject the principle of “liberty and justice for all”, by ordering no displays, rather than support the ideal of equality.
One would expect someone claiming to be a “God fearing Christian” to present the truth.
Full disclosure: I am an officer of Pennsylvania Nonbelievers.

“Here’s an idea, why not let good hard-working American Christians give praise to their God without fear of being persecuted.”

We (atheists) have no problem with your praising god-in fact you have any number of rather beautiful and un-taxed places to do so, usually called “church”. In addition you can praise god as loudly as you like in your home or any private property that is not a tax-supported public resource for which you, via this taxation, forcing me to pay. There is a reason, after all, that churches do not pay taxes. That is to ensure that the government doesn’t tell the church what to do and the flip side of that is that the church doesn’t tell government what to do. You risk your tax-exempt status once you cross that line.

Unless you are prepared to let me come in and explain the big bang or evolution or any number of ideas that you reject to your congregation on your property, then I suggest you let the public square be available to the entire public, not just your perceived “majority”.

And for the record, I don’t know any atheists that live in their mother’s basement.

the man you call jesus (he was actually called Yeshua Ben Yosef) was indeed a great man. although his reasons were incorrect his goals and successes were to create peace and more power to him, it’s not his fault that you have perverted his good work into the terrible engine that we have today.

atheists, (myself included) do celebrate things like christmas, in fact my family do out of habit although we leave out the religious bits

i am not familiar with PAN’s work although i can certainly appreciate the sentiment.

i have a slight correction to you anti theists do not want to destroy christianity in the west. we want to destroy all religion everywhere and anywhere. t is the concept that is the problem, which story book you read and which imaginary friends you have does not affect our views.

i do not live in my mother’s basement, i divide my time between a penthouse in kensington, a lake house in Canada and a villa in portugal. my wife and i are very happy with our life and our 2 children, now teens, are well adjusted, psychologically healthy, very intelligent, musical, artistic, multilingual people.
in short what have i to be envious of? the only thing i want now is to remove what is the greatest threat to my daughter’s enjoyment of their lives.

christmas is about fun, family and peace. why do you have to ruin it. thats how it was before christianity came, a three day enjoyment and celebration of life, then christians came along, killed half the people who celebrated it and then ruined it for the other half and then all the others through history

We folks at PAN are old-fashioned. We just celebrate the winter solstice. It was celebrated for5 many centuries before a new religion super-imposed their celebration on that very same day in order to gain acceptance of their new deity. It worked so well that they now consider this day as THEIRS.
