It is now our reporting on this year's Christmas controversy situation -- the actions against public displays of Christmas taken by atheist organizations.

-- is that -- -- children president of the American atheist group satire really I really trying to get.

And I'm not be a wise guy here right I'll deal with the hard stuff with governor Chafee tomorrow.

Com but I really trying to give -- point of view here.

You know -- anything is sure non -- -- I respect that that's fine I don't look down on you don't think you're a pinhead thank you if you wanna be an atheist that's why we have America you can be it.

But why -- messing -- my tradition why you messing around with Christmas just leave it alone easier compelling reason for you to mess around -- Well we're only messing around we're not messing around with anything we're stopping the government from preferring one religion over not okay.

The stop I don't know what went -- no no no no -- you listen to me don't answer my questions out there -- answer questions I had.

What religion is involved with Christmas what -- legion.

Christianity that is not a religion that's a philosophy.

-- -- -- Since the dawn of time the winter solstice has been celebrated by multiple -- -- winter -- a winter solstice the shortest day of the year it's been celebrated with evergreen trees because they don't die.

Giving gifts family friends song.

Do you like always -- it's great so what did you celebrated we do so great but you don't -- -- Christmas because christianity don't.

I don't know -- no I don't this is the union I'm you know -- didn't celebrate winter solstice yes anyway celebrate Christmas but our government can't take sides the government doesn't say this is a good religion this is a battle didn't look the government can't say this is -- -- children -- it is -- fact.

That christianity is not a religion it is a philosophy.

If you -- government was saying that the Methodist.

Religion.

All right.

Had deserves a special place in the public square I would be on your side so yeah.

Actually tell me on live television that christianity is not a religion correct.

It is -- a lot.

I'm gonna fundamentally disagree on the war wrong -- that's fine you can comment -- -- and you realize this is -- is a religion you know what's chilling is.

So this is every -- they are sex appreciate Hannity and you know what.

It's really not cool for you to try and not cloudy cool it's not -- -- -- cloud this issue this issue is about religious neutrality from open government but government.

Says that the government has not allowed to pick sides OK number one or religious -- number -- a whole lot defeat it fine if you -- -- constitution is says that the government cannot promote -- religion no holy -- the congress shall not establish there aren't any laws respecting an establishment ought to leave religion yeah not a philosophy OK so you wouldn't have a problem -- with the government of the United States establishing -- because that's also philosophy.

That would be fair establishing it was not only noble but we don't trust on all you want what you winters.

I don't know god and even -- ideally wanted to go down to.

-- go up to Albany new York and put up happy winter solstice on on Andrew Cuomo's office door wagon probably it yeah.

And I would I think you will -- -- -- -- -- and don't tell -- what I think but when I sit I didn't have a problem I don't have a problem sorry products are.

If you had a you would have a problem with no life which cannot.

On anyone that you want challenging I don't know if you want -- you -- you watch a show that -- particularly.

Either it wouldn't be right either because the governor is not an is not the position usually -- -- -- is not a religion -- it was a holiday if he wants to put winter solstice up on his office before I got no problem actually it's a celestial event and you're right it would be secular.

But if you put up there in god we do not -- -- -- -- Jesus Christ -- -- religious item eighteen was a man.

Now Christmas trees and secular symbol.

It's a secular symbol had nothing to do with Chris when another word -- the first word secular -- -- a Christmas and free Christmas.

All -- and they Christmas tree now now look.

This is so unreasonable USO one reason always anonymously is frightening.

I'm not unreasonable nor I don't think we are government house to be fair the government -- to not take sides.

Everybody is equal except and I have the same -- -- -- a federal holiday why don't you get it.

-- off your butt and get -- revoked -- -- I don't know adults of course you don't because your view is he insane you know -- you can't celebrate Christmas without being a Christian actually even celebrate Christmas without being a Christian by force because you can't go to work you can't get your -- you can't go to the bottom to the bank can't can go to work no you can't can't know the issue.

Really wanted to work on Christmas I don't work on Christmas you must not I percent of the country doesn't either because it's a federal holiday civilian rule in -- -- you and your your merry band of fascists.
