With thanks to several friends: "Why defend freedom of icky speech?" Some random thoughts in comments, because I'm feeling whimsical.

I don't see that "Religion is just myth" is a holiday greeting. I see it as an inflammatory and provocative statement designed to antagonise. But then, I am neither particularly religious nor particularly secular, and I can see where a Christian might derive some satisfaction from forgiving people for trying to pick a fight, so I guess it's okay.

ah, i just realized i didn't post the link with a picture of the placard. The top is a holiday solstice wish, and below that is a statement of their faith, which includes the quoted phrase but is not limited to it.

i am delighted, however, to see the guy who sued for the nativity agreeing that the state building should be open to other faiths besides his own.
