Good advice. I'd add to this that we try to remember that most atheists are decent people. They accept that they live in a dominantly Christian nation and don't really care if they have to see Christian symbols here and there. Many even go so far as to celebrate Christmas - a secular version, of course, but one they still call Christmas. Don't judge any group by its arrogant, militant fringe.

jwiilliams-I know atheists that I think very highly of. You're right that the atheists that are troublemakers don't represent all atheists. However, they do seem to be a very vocal and powerful group. They have created a lot of havoc. I think those Christians that growl at store clerks who give the generic holiday greeting are a reflection of the frustration Christians feel-they feel like they're constantly under attack by atheists because of the seemingly constant cases going to the Supreme Court because of a diplay of the Ten Commandments or a nativity scene. Or, as atheists refer to them the Ten Suggestions.

Atheist Attacks on Christmas

Good question. It's time for Christians to realize that their religion is under attack, and they had better start fighting to win the war for religious liberty in public opinion, in the courts and in the schools.

The war against Christianity has been waged by the American Civil Liberties Union, the Freedom From Religion Foundation and similar groups....
