A while ago, Bill Donahue was on the O’Reilley Factor screaming about how the evil atheists were waging a war on Christmas.

I don’t know what the hell they are going on about when they talk like this…

In Washington State they recently allowed the Freedom From Religion Foundation to erect a giant sign next to a nativity scene exclaiming rather rational, straight-forward atheist counter-points to the obvious Christian display next to it. According to the article it’s merely a placeholder for a plaque that’s having problems with delivery. Naturally, being an atheist, and therefore [...]
