Your comments seem a little knee-jerk anti-atheist here.Not anti-atheist really. I'm against annoying do-gooders up to no good...of any stripe. They just happen to be atheist do-gooders in this instance. Does it really matter if there's a picture of Jesus on the wall? Who does it really hurt? No one. Absolutely no one. So the why not just take it down? you know...go along to get along. But why should you have to cave in to some unreasonable bully. Why don't they just go along to get along?
Secularism is about not having religious tests for elected officials nor declaring Methodism the official religion of Illinois, nor taxing people to fund religious causes. This kind of nonsense has nothing to do with being secular. It's just being a busy body and intentionally trying to poke believers in the eye.
