Sounds like an oxy moron doesn't it? The Atheist religion. But truth be told that is what it exactly is. They believe not to believe. But also they have said it in words. The sign in Washington state next to the nativity scene proves it. See it mentions the holiday of the Winter Solstice. For any one who does not know, the Winter Solstice is a paigan holiday. This is were the tradition of a Christmas Tree comes from. The roots of the Christmas Tree are tied the paigan Asherah pole. This idol was decorated for ritualistic celebrations. So for the Atheist to say they have no religion is wrong.
Merriam Webster defines atheism as this "
1archaic : ungodliness
, wickedness2 a: a disbelief in the existence of deity b: the doctrine that there is no deity." But
the so called atheist's who put up this sign are stating we are stealing there holiday of the Winter Solstice. So if this is a paigan holiday wouldn't that make them paigans instead of atheists? A true atheist as mentioned in the definition above has no god or godless. See most paigan religions view the earth and nature as gods. They even have a central god or godess.
So this sign put out by atheists states a hypocritical belief they have. Since they observe the Winter Solstice as a holiday, they are practicing a religion. But at the same time they say there are no gods or heaven or hell. So I ask all these Atheists out there which is it? Are you a true Atheist and do not believe in any god what so ever? Or are you paigans? Make the distinction. Because if you are not paigans, don't steal their holiday of the Winter Solstice like you claim us Christians are stealing it from you with our Christmas celebration. Surely you don't want your cause to be seen as ridiculous hypocracy? Because that is how it is seen know with this fine display.
