My town's deparment building (basically city hall I think) has a nativity scene on their lawn. I first tried calling them. I confirmed it was a government owned building and I asked why they had it. They said it was for Chrismas. I told them it wasn't allowed. A government can not endorse a religion. They then come up with an excuse saying they are going to be putting up a Hanukkah symbol up to. Which doesn't make a difference. When I told the lady on the phone this. She dropped the conversion clearly was mad and told me to write a letter to the mayor. From what I know, writing a letter would get me no where. So, I tried contacting Freedom From Religion and got no answer. So, I'm coming on the forums for some advice on what to do. The problem that I see is I'm 17. I'm pretty certain my parents will be against or neutral to this so I will not have an 18+ help and it's drawing very near to Christmas.
Any decorations that they put up would be an acknowledgement of Christmas, which is the celebration of the birth of Christ. Why not let us celebrate our holiday? I work for the county and we had Halloween decorations all over the place. It wasn't my cup of tea, but I didn't go around complaining about it.
