And then there are Our Own Anti-Religion Zealot Weenies - Fifty-Year-Old Cross to Be Removed After Pressure from Atheist

This form of Anti-Religion Zealotry is just as bad as Religious Fanaticism!

Be an Atheist on your own, quietly, respectfully. Leave the lawsuits, group meetings, the proselytizing and fanatical behavior to the religions. That is their purview. 

If you are offended by an old cross on a hill, too bad! Don't look at it. Understand? m/r



Fifty-Year-Old Cross to Be Removed After Pressure from Atheist | Washington Free Beacon

Residents vow to fight ‘bully’



A cross that graced the top of a hill in the small city of Grand Haven, Michigan, for over 50 years will now be removed after the threat of a lawsuit by an outside activist who has filed other lawsuits to advance his cause.
The Grand Haven City Council voted three to two earlier this week to have the cross removed from Dewey Hill. Their decision comes after months of heated debate,rallies organized by veterans, and heartfeltletters penned to the editor of a local paper in this city of less than 11,000 residents. The city even tried to defy protesters by placing an even larger cross and nativity scene on Dewey Hill.
“I never saw an issue quite like this,” said Grand Haven resident Brandon Hall, a blogger for West Michigan Politics.
While the issue was a contentious one it also showed the majority of residents were united.
“One thing I want to make clear: Grand Haven is not divided. It is very united in support of the cross,” Hall said. “All my atheist friends hate what is going on here,” he said.
“It’s very surprising that one guy can come from out of state and start all this. It is very shocking and disappointing,” said Hall. He said many residents believe the council caved to a “bully.”
