Even the atheists are giving gifts since the election.
Via Breitbart:
An atheist organization took out an ad in the New York Times to announce it is giving President Donald Trump a “lump of coal” for Christmas for his executive order protecting religious liberty.
The Freedom from Religion Foundation (FFRF) – an organization that champions abortion and LGBT rights – displays what it calls its “light-hearted, full-page ad” on its Facebook account. The ad appeared on Thursday – the winter solstice.
“President Trump’s great big Christmas present to the Religious Right . . . is a great big war on the separation of church and state,” the ad states.
The ad’s four large stockings – labeled “Religious vouchers,” “Cabinet Zealots,” “Church Politicking” and “Stacked Judiciary” – are hung and filled with money, crosses and other gifts. Smaller stockings hung beneath the larger ones each bear a lump of coal and are labeled “Women’s rights,” “LGBT,” “Planned Parenthood,” “Muslim Immigrants” and “Civil Liberties.”
Trump promised the nation that, if elected president, “We are going to say Merry Christmas again.”
“There’s no ‘war on Christmas,’” asserts Annie Laurie Gaylor, FFRF Co-Founder. “That’s Fox News’ phony construct. But there most definitely is a concerted war on the First Amendment’s cherished principle of separation between government and religion.”
FFRF Co-President Dan Barker added Trump has “already inflicted” such “grave harm … on America’s wall of separation between church and state.”
Barker particularly points to Trump’s religious freedom executive order that authorizes Attorney General Jeff Sessions to issue religious liberty guidance for all federal agencies.
FFRF often supports its anti-Christian message with President Thomas Jefferson’s reference to the “wall of separation between church and state.”
