I'd like to know why a group of atheists would put up a billboard preaching reason. Idiots like that are just as bad as the evangelicals they claim to despise. Way to be a bunch of dickheads for no reason.
yeah, keep religion to yourselves should be the policy of everything...

But that would mean secularization of everything! oh noes!

It's a fun myth that serves a god purpose 9 times out of ten. They will ban it eventually and maybe you will get more paid holidays to use at your discretion. Which seems like a better idea in my opinion. My son's school doesn't refer to the holiday as Christmas - just Winter holiday or some dam thing. Oddly the Jewish and muslim holidays are named and honored. Curse if you are a dolt. Can any young guys recommend presents for my soon to be 14 year old son ? He is currently " Way to cool "  for me to buy presents for. I am at a loss and those gift cards I have but I want him to have something to open. I think deep inside he would feel left out if he got a few pre-paid credit cards.

XBox Live points are well appreciated among my son's friends as gifts.  Especially with parents who are tech noobs.

lol...  Well, most of Christmas is about as religious as Thanksgiving...

Hell, Christ was most likely born in the spring anyway.  The Church just decided to consume the pagan holiday of Saturnalia.
Saturnalia/whatever Pagan holidays preceded Christmas is still a religious holiday, Atheist fail
The church deliberately picked the day to overshadow the evil pagan celebration.

As far as christmas.. I thinks its more cultural rather than religious today. I don't think anyone should be trying to take it away from a group of people. Identify yourself by how you celebrate the season. Religiously or not.

Dude, that's all year.  But I guess this holiday is the only one you are forced to gather.

This is how I see it.  I'm in no way religious but still celebrate and enjoy the season.  Unfortunately I get the joy of working both Christmas eve and Christmas day (well night actually) this year, greedy people who think they need food every day of the year.

The religious side of the day doesn't even get a mention as only one person I know is openly or forcefully religious. Some ones faith, church or trying to 'convert' someone is just not a topic of discussion.

My sister swears she saw a Santa hanging from a cross in a Department store when she was in Japan, like they got it mixed up a bit. I wish I had a picture of that.

Maybe I missed the [sarcasm] tags...

But if serious...why the fuck would you do that?

The atheists that hoot and holler and rub it in your face about how there is no god are just as bad as the theists who hoot and holler and rub it in your face that there is a god and if you don't believe what they believe, you're going to hell.

@ OP pic:

Thanks for celebrating your lack of religion by proselytizing your lack of religion to everyone else.

actually, it depends. when a whole nation assumes "organized atheism" as a part of its ideology - yeah, that's trouble. but i see no problem if certain individual or a group of people chooses to poke fun at religios lunacy - when done right it could be clever and entertaining and stuff.
if you open your mind too much your brain will fall out.
