I have many Atheist friends, but some times I would love to smack a handful that I don't know. They hate on organized religion to the point you do want to strangle them. Like in this Article about an Atheist sign from Olympia. I live in Washington State now, only about 30 minutes from the Capital and I was like what the fuck is this crap.

One why post that damn little sign during the holiday seasons to begin with? Why, and two Winter Solstice is from religion itself. Druidism, Paganism all those little religions that were around before Christianity came into view 2000 years ago. Though I can understand them using it instead of something like Happy Holidays. But they should've put Happy Holidays I mean Wal-Mart has to say Hallpy Holidays because of those morons saying Christmas is a religion based holiday. All holidays are religion based, Christmas, Solstice, Channaka, ETC.
The sign could have been nicer too, and these morons are acting like those high-ho religious people that go door to door trying to sell their religion on you to begin with. Why are atheists so spiteful about what others believe in. I believe in the GODS, yes gods. I don't believe one god could create this entire world in six days and rest on the seventh. I believe what the ancient Greeks, Romans, Celts believed in. And if you wanna know something, the only reason Christmas is even on this month wa to allow the Christians to celebrate and convert.
Everything involving Christmas is Pagan oriented, but mot people don't realize such things due to thinking what I believe in is Devil worshipping and it's not. But I'm not going into this kinda shit. I told myself I wouldn't talk about the links of religions unless something really pissed me off.
Back on the topic, this sign is a shithole. Why create angst and a barrier with all other religions, this is a time to celebrate what we all have in common loved one and family. Not to down our beliefs. I believe Christmas is a holiday not to celebrate the birth of Jesus, since technically he was born in September or that's what people are believing. But to celebrate our good life with family and friends and spoil our children and everyone else in our life. It's not to cause strife, especially during this stupid Recession we're in.
Another thing in this article, why try and remove all the happy go lucky religious things from the town square? That basically is like stealing the joy out of the holidays. The lights and the like, that's what Christmas is about walking around while shopping and looking at all the religious holiday objects lying around in your path. It's not there to convert you, but to show people have many beliefs and we can actually be a whole than apart.
That is all the ranting I'll do over this before I go a little too far. Adios!
