VIDEO: Ronald Reagan’s 1981 Christmas address

Posted 22 Dec 2011 in Ronald Reagan

President Reagan wasn’t afraid to speak about Christ, particularly during the time when America celebrates the holiday season honoring Jesus’ birth. I’m posting this video as a refreshing contrast to the current “war on Christmas” attitude which seems far too prevalent lately.

Giving the Grinch a run for his money this year, an attorney — acting on behalf of the Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF) and local atheist complainant Douglas Marshall — has sent a letter to the mayor of Warren, Mich., threatening legal action against the city unless the mayor allows an “equal time” anti-religion sign next to a nativity scene in the city hall lobby.

The reason? Marshall is offended by the expression of faith in the public square.

“If a person wants to express their beliefs in their homes, in their church, they are more than welcome to,” Marshall told Detriot’s Fox 2 But in the public square, which I’m paying for with my taxes, there shouldn’t be belief systems.”

The “equal time” sign Marshall wants to place next to the Christmas nativity scene asserts that religion is no more than superstition.
