After years of hearing the Christian right complain about the nonexistent “War on Christmas,” the Florida chapter of American Atheists have decided to finally essay a skirmish. They’ll be placing bus-ads in Florida this season advertising the fact that millions of Floridians are atheists and inviting atheists to attend their Ft Lauderdale convention Dec 18-19. I’m assuming that religious fundamentalists will oblige them by going crazy and make a huge stink, which’ll ensure that the news of the convention is spread far and wide.
“Every year groups like The Catholic League and American Family Association told Americans about a war on Christmas that simply did not exist,” American Atheists Communications Director Blair Scott says in the announcement. “Last year we thought we would give them what they seemed to want and fired the first shot in the war on Christmas. To both groups we say, ‘Happy Holidays!'”
