The Seattle Times reports:
In the latest round of what’s become almost a winter tradition — conflicts over religious symbols in public places — a group of atheists and agnostics have put up a sign in the state Capitol that says, in part: “Religion is but myth and superstition that hardens hearts and enslaves minds.”
Freedom From Religion Foundation members put up the sign Monday, partly in response to a nearby Nativity scene. They also debuted a billboard in downtown Olympia that reads: “Reason’s Greetings.” . . .
The report mentions an earlier suit filed by the Alliance Defense Fund on behalf of Ron Wesselius who was denied permissiont to put up a nativity scene in 2006. Wesselius later prevailed and put up another nativity this year near the Freedom from Religion Foundation sign.
