Approaching winter solstice (in the northern hemisphere) means that particular time of year is coming, here in the US: when the church-state entanglements are at their most flagrant, and atheists’ stepping up to correct them is met with sheer hatred. From absurdities such as proclaiming that Christianity is not a religion to denouncing efforts by atheists to limit illegal church-state entanglements as “war on Christmas”, the right wing’s effort to make the month of December as theocratic as possible are in full swing.
The Freedom From Religion Foundation tweeted this link today, which is a Fox segment in which the presenters go further than talking about the supposed war on Christmas, and hyping an “assault on Christianity, freedom of speech in America.”
According to FFRF, this could be the reason they are getting tons of hate mail these days.
Are the Fox people this stupid? Can’t they really see that freedom of speech and religion are INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS, not STATE RIGHTS? They are shamelessly trying to boosts their own ratings, while flaming hatred of a minority, and they should be called out on that.
