This 1965 cartoon is too “extreme” for today’s progressives.

I detest militant atheists but there is no reason Christmas should be celebrated in public schools or Yom Kippur or Satan’s birthday, or Ramadan.

Religious holidays are wonderful. Celebrate them at home in church or temple but not in the public schools.

Well, what’s their problem? I personally have no problem attending other religions services respectfully, seeing what they’re all about then walk home still the same religion afterwards. I don’t see why these atheists can’t at least do the same. Combine that with the fact that I grew up with an atheist Dad, and still chose Christianity. There’s not a threat to seeing something related to other religions, in fact, it’s a good opportunity to understand and discuss afterwards.

They need to have the stigma of "murdering atheists" attached to them.

Fire at will.

Guess you never read George Washington or Samuel Adams words.

Shove your secularist point of view and comparisons with satan.

I'll not post more lest I get banned for the opinion I hold of your insulting diatribe.

Go to Du fool.

That reason is called the First Amendment.

Specifically:

(Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion,) or prohibiting the free exercise thereof

Lincoln/Grant (Who Federally sealed the deal) “imported” the South's love of celebrating Christmas and incorporated the celebration into the Federal government. Take it up with their spirits if you will (Lincoln promoted Christmas, thought he is a “god” to atheists, lol).

Thank you so much I appreciate that..MERRY CHRISTMAS to everyone here, and Happy Chanukkah to my Jewish friends(I’m Jewish but I love Christmas) in fact, during the holiday season I always say “Merry Christmas” I don’t say “Happy Holidays” that’s something that liberals want people to say I refuse to say it

I'm with you. This crap should have been slapped down right at the beginning. As it is, people humored it, and now they have the upper hand.

Should be taking the kids to see “Charlie Brown joins jihad”. Then nobody would have uttered a word of protest.
