[QUOTE="grasping the after wind, post: 69021587, member: 256417"] Well I guess the city is doing what is correct whether the atheist group wanted the city to do it or not and whether the city meant to do the right thing or not. Governments ought to stay out of religion altogether and ought not be promoting people having happy holy days even if the religion is a secular one. Let citizens not only make their own private accommodations for their religious symbols but also for their well wishes about holy days as well. A government that considers a date a secular holy day is engaging in some kind of religious activity and that ought to be out to a stop. Governments can give their employees days off without resorting to phrases that have religious significance. Independence day for instance ought to considered a day to commemorate the beginning of the country not a holy day. A sign proclaiming Happy New Year should have been acceptable but Happy Holy Day should be considered inappropriate. [/QUOTE]
