Atheists are bullying Christians all over the country. Putting up nasty

That's yet another crock of crap. Atheists are not bullying anyone. You
want a Nativity scene? Fine. Put it up on your front lawn or on your
church's lawn, but not on the lawn of a public school or in a public
park. There is no place for religious functions or displays in the
public schools.

Note, however, there is little objection to public college courses
teaching "comparative religions," so long as the teaching isn't favoring
one religion over another.

It is intolerant to force your religious views onto the public schools
or onto public facilities.

----------------------------

Those public facilities belong to the religious as well as to the
Atheists.

And that doesn't entitle either to state sponsorship. Do it on your own.

--------------------
If the government only allowed one religion or only atheists to use the
facilities, then that would be sponsorship. Allow all to use them. Around
here the are small churches that rent rooms at the local schools for church
services. The people / Government get revenue, and no state sponsorship of
a religious view.
