Liberty Counsel Defends Green Bay, Wisconsin Nativity Scene

Dec 28, 2007

Liberty Counsel - www.LC.org

Liberty Counsel has been retained by the City of Green Bay, Wisconsin to defend the city’s Nativity display against a baseless lawsuit recently filed by the Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF). A Christmas tree, reindeer, and Santa Claus were positioned in the same context as the Nativity on the front lawn of City Hall.

FFRF is the most extreme separationist organization in the country, claiming its members consist of atheists and agnostics. Its co-president, Annie Laurie Gaylor in a threatening letter to an Ohio town derogatively referred to its Nativity as a "shack" and derisively wrote that the display "jarred" the conscience. This is the same atheist organization that unashamedly unveiled its "Imagine No Religion" billboards during Christmas.

If the Freedom From Religion Foundation had its way, there would be no religious freedom and indeed, no religion.

Liberty Counsel will be providing legal assistance at no cost to the city. We need your support so that we can defend this case against the Freedom from Religion Foundation.
