Olympia anti-religion holiday sign draws protests
An anti-religion sign in the Capitol Rotunda is drawing protesters to Olympia.
An anti-religion sign in the Capitol Rotunda is drawing protesters to Olympia.
Redmond pastor Ken Hutcherson of the Antioch Bible Church called an 11 a.m. news conference Friday. The Olympian reports he'll place his own pro-Christian sign in the Rotunda to mock atheists.
A Federal Way man, Steve Wilson, plans a protest at 2 p.m. Sunday on the Capitol campus. The Tacoma News Tribune reports he became involved after hearing Bill O'Reilly of Fox News say displaying the sign alongside a holiday tree and a Christian nativity scene is "political correctness gone mad."
The sign from the Freedom From Religion Foundation calls religion "myth and superstition."
Meanwhile, the holiday tree lighting ceremony is 6 p.m. Friday.
