A reader mentioned this billboard yesterday and today arrives an e-mail with the background.
It’s part of a national campaign by the Freedom From Religion Foundation and is a reaction to the state’s display of a creche on the Capitol grounds each year. The national group was behind the now famous winter solstice display in the state of Washington that has stirred conservative commentators. This is the season for Christians, dammit. Everybody else needs to shut up and like it. And spend money, of course.
Link here. The photo was taken Dec. 21, during a Human Light/Winter Solstice observance by members of the Freedom From Religion Foundation, the Fayetteville Free Thinkers and the Freethinkers of Central Arkansas.
