FORT COLLINS, Colo., Dec. 3 (UPI) -- The Larimer County, Colo., sheriff is allowing two groups of atheists to hang a sign during his annual Christmas tree-trimming party, group members said.

Colorado Coalition of Reason head Marvin Straus said Larimer County Sheriff Jim Alderden gave permission for the group, as well as Leaders in Freethought, to erect a sign at the holiday party that drew nearly 300 people in 2008, the Denver Post said Thursday.

"During this winter-solstice season, illuminate your mind with reason. Let friends and family warm your heart. And celebrate that we all take part. The Colorado Coalition of Reason," the sign reads.



Excellent. Thanks for sharing, OP.

I'm a little confused. What does being an atheist have to do with a Christmas Tree?
