Although an estimated 95% of American’s celebrate Christmas in some form, the line of separation and church is being enforced in the form of the removal of Christmas decorations. Washington state Governor Chris Gregoire has banned displays of religion or any thing non-governmental from the Capitol building. Due to the protests by an atheist group called The Freedom From Religion Foundation, the nativity scene and other holiday decorations are no longer welcome.
It may have been extreme for the atheist group to protest against holiday decorations in general, but the nativity scene directly follows the Christian faith. It should not have been placed outside a federal building in the first place.
