Atheist Message Boots Nativity Scenes

A sign with an Atheist message is on display along Ocean Avenue at Palisades Park in Santa Monica, Calif., today. Most of the Christmas nativity scenes that local churches had placed in a Southern California coastal park for nearly six decades have been displaced by non-believers and the churches say it was a coordinated attack. But atheists got all but three of the spaces this year because of a new lottery system. The coalition got two spots and one went to Isaac Levitansky of Chabad Channukah Menorah. Story here.
