Atheists plan protest of nativity display
MILFORD (AP) -- A group of atheists is planning a protest near a nativity scene on public property in Milford.
City officials say they haven't put up a nativity scene in the Parsons Government Center, ending a holiday tradition going back several years. However, there is a larger creche set up on the Milford Green that is owned and maintained by a local family.
Dennis Himes, Connecticut state director of American Atheists, says the protest is scheduled for 11 a.m. Sunday near the Nativity scene.
Himes says the Nativity display is unconstitutional and that a Milford atheist filed a complaint sparking the protest. Mayor James Richetelli says the Nativity scene will remain.
The mayor says he wrote Himes informing him that the creation, maintenance and erection of the Nativity scene was not done by the city. For several years the Hyatt family has placed the Nativity on the Green

To be fair, some primitives agree that a display on public land of a religious nature is fine as long as the money is from a private source to do it, and other religions are free to do the same if they so choose - The rest of the posts read "Separation of Church and State !!!111!!!" -- unlike this Nazi protest of a religious display on a public green - the only difference being the religion isn't Christianity based, So, the Nazis are all at fault, not the Jews who shouldn't have been on a public green at all according to standard primitive dogma.
Funny That..
