Yes, you no longer have the privilege of ignoring that everyone else doesn't care about your religion. You no longer have the privilege of forcing everyone else to celebrate your holidays.

That being said, I put up a Christmas tree in my house, and enjoy the holidays as a secular occasions. It's my house, I do what I want. You can do whatever you like in your house. But when it's shared space, you don't get to shit it up with your religious crap.

Big on privileged are we. You should feel so privileged to live in western nation traditionally identified with Christianity that puts up with minority atheist bullshit. You relish twisting a nations laws to allow room for your lack of belief even so far as demanding others not participate so as not to offend your sensibilities. Last time I checked people stopped forcing conversion at the end of a sword hundreds of years ago (westerners) so who exactly is forcing you to deal with all of this? Oh noez you heard a Christmas jingle. Oh noez you got to take off work for a holiday you dont believe in? Heavens no you mean strangers gave you gifts out of the kindness of their hearts? Take that pariah complex somewhere else. Atheist like other special interest groups don't actually want equality they want special privileges and to be seen as dominant.

police stations can't even have christmas trees and you act like atheists are persecuted

Amendment I

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

police are a public service and in order to have a christmas tree, all rituals of that time or similar manner, regardless of calendar, would have to be honored.

The episteme is the ‘apparatus’ which makes possible the separation, not of the true from the false, but of what may from what may not be characterised as scientific.

A quote from an article published april 18, 2014

This is an historic discovery of the first truly Earth-size planet found in the habitable zone around its star,” Geoff Marcy, an astronomer at the University of California, Berkeley, who is unaffiliated with the research, told Space.com via email. “This is the best case for a habitable planet yet found. The results are absolutely rock-solid. The planet itself may not be, but I’d bet my house on it. In any case, it’s a gem.”

Thats quite different from your assertion that they are also finding millions of earth like planets now

It's almost like you believe government can accomplish useful things.

Causation is an amazing thing isn't it?

Nothing happens with a conservative majority rule. This isn't news.

This doesn't negatively effect anyone in any way, shape or form! Congratulations. Your deity is better than most others'.

The only problem I have with that image is that Jesus is white.
