Guys, you are going to have to decide pretty quickly if you live on this earth if you believe in the One true God, or not.

Brighton NY is a pleasant suburb of Rochester NY (which is a woke, welfare Democrat sh**hole)

Its full of self-loathing NPR leftist Karens who like to virtue-signal, but still want the peace and quiet of all-white (or with a few professional East Asians) suburbs.

I remember the 1960s when atheists began their push to stop all Christian Christmas displays in our local towns an parks.

Everybody knows how Christmas displays *force* people to believe and behave as Christians.

The American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ) has filed a federal lawsuit

I notice it wasn't the ACLU, which only supports left-wing causes.

Thank you for referencing that article Rochester.

The 14th Amendment-based federal law prohibiting lawfare may apply to this issue.

Although I don't know if this law is being enforced, 14A was used to protect free speech in California awhile back.
