A man walks past a display in Palisades Park that was erected by an atheist. This year more atheists applied for spaces at the park, reducing the traditional nativity display erected by local churches.
Atheist messages have displaced most of the Christmastime nativity scenes that for nearly six decades a coalition of local churches had placed in Santa Monica’s ocean-view park.
Local churches have traditionally claimed 14 of the 21 Palisades Park display spaces to illustrate the story of the birth of Jesus Christ. But atheists managed to get all but three of the spaces this year because of a new city lottery system.
Two individuals snagged 18 spaces. One person can request a maximum of nine spaces.
“Our belief is that these new applicants have been working together to displace and push out the nativity scenes from the park, rather than erecting a full display of their own,” said Hunter Jameson, a spokesman for a coalition of the city’s churches.

Then every Christian in that town needs to put a Nativity on their lawn.
If they want to do that it is their right.
"Happy Solstice" Whoa…what a great idea for Christmas…sorry atheists…you have no common sense whatsoever…jealous aren't you? Nobody cares about you and so you must retaliate…just because you don't believe does not give you the right to take our rights away…simply get your own island somewhere…WE are in fact the largest majority…WE win…YOU lose…Get out and take your hate with you…Californicka….what are you waiting for? You need to fight that assault again for OUR freedom or we will ALL suffer in the end…Actually…California…the great State that it was…died years ago…Sad and Pathetic indeed…Merry Christmas to all those who believe…especially for those in California…
YOU are proof that religion IS a mental sickness and ALL who believe in AnY religion ARE mentally sick, delusional, psychotic.
Well…thank you very much for your kindness…in the spirit of Christmas, I will not judge you on your capacity to understand the true meaning of Faith, God, and Prayer…Merry Christmas…to you…your family…AND especially to your children…
Wow ,what do you expect from a state ran by wacko's like nancy wicked witch of the west , and catering to wacko's like some of the movie people.
“Atheists Declare War On City’s Nativity Scenes”
More of the Christians paranoid delusions and HATE. Where is the declaration of “War.”
GDC Go to h**l! Because you will surely end up there. You are one of the 99% that I cannot stand. Atheists don't have a religion so they pick on those who do. Are you the schoolyard bully? If so, please come to my area, and I will show you what happens to bullies.
Wow GDC, way to keep up the stereotype that athiests are hateful of religion and God. If I didn't believe in unicorns and most everyone else did I wouldn't spend any energy trying to convince people that there are no unicorns. Why are you getting so mouth-foamy?
It needs to be understood, Christians will not receive grief from true Atheists! A true Atheist has no beliefs and as such is not bothered by others who do have a belief system! The FFRF and the hate-mongers that jump on and rip into Christians call themselves Atheists but are actually an Anti-God religion! While they will not admit it they do know that God exists, but have a belief that if they can get enough people to turn against God that God will lose power and Lucifer will be able to take over! One of the major reasons that they refuse to admit that they are an actual religion, is the legalistic point that while not being a religion they can get government entities to give them power over religions.
Never could understand why the atheists get so upset, they don't believe, so leave the rest of us alone. If looking at a nativity secne upsetsd you, then don't look for goodness sakes. However I do not believe that you are really atheists, you are really elitists looking to control the lives of all.
Well I'd sooner believe in God and be wrong ,than not and be wrong.
It's amusing to watch atheists work so hard to deny the existence of God. I agree with Violet, all the Christians there should put up Nativity scenes in their yards.
This type of talk only goes on to prove how stupid all this political correctness is. I'm 71 years old. Leave people alone – so what if someone puts up a beautiful nativiity scene, it gives a lot of people joy to see and doesn't hurt anyone else. I believe Eric Holder (could be wrong) said that about a monkey's butt about one of the Rep. candidates. If a Republican said that about some one, they would be absolutely crucified. That's just one….. How totally pathetic those so called atheists are.
