Instead of replacing jebus with a sliding baseball player replace it with a piece of dog shit.
I'll bet they don't touch that!

You could put a sign called "Fantasy lane" above it and make it part of the actual structure, perhaps they will remove the religious figures instead - This way you win.
A couple years ago I wrote up a disclaimer and posted it above the display. It read something like, "This display is offered for purposes of tradition and decoration, not in the belief that this depicts a factual event". My wife refused to let me put it out when her family came over. But I did put it up when a couple we are friends with dropped by (they are both atheists). They got a good laugh out of it.
Unfortunately, my wife is too sensitive to the beliefs of her family. She even objected when I once left my copy of "Godless" on the coffee table when her brother's mob was coming over. She squawked, "You know they don't believe in that!".
Hmmmm.... so they don't believe in not believing....
But on the flip side I can go over to their house and have to look at Bibles and religious shit everywhere.
Science flies us to the moon and stars. Religion flies us into buildings.
God allowed 200,000 people to die in an earthquake. So what makes you think he cares about YOUR problems?
