I really don't care one way or the other, LJ. Hence, I'm not out there searching for atheist symbols.
My point is that they don't need to make a wordy statement, just use their little sign or symbol, of which Photo-fish was happy to oblige without your snarkiness.

Well goody for you... unfortunately "A western Pennsylvania mayor refused to include a banner from an atheist group that says “there are no gods”" doesn't agree with you... hence the thread. This is one of the few times I agree 100 percent with Lady Jazzer.
Their message is their statement of what they believe. It doesn't require your approval or acceptance...Nor does it require anyone else to believe it. Your point was irrelevant...and still is.
You obviously DID care, or you wouldn't have posted your snarky put-down of their message in the first place.

The people elected can choose to display the 10 Commandments on public property, if they wish... But they better be prepared for a lawsuit as soon as they do.
The Lemon test is used to decide whether a display violates the constitution. Essentially, the primary purpose of the display must be secular in nature.
1.The government's action must have a secular legislative purpose;
2.The government's action must not have the primary effect of either advancing or inhibiting religion; and
3.The government's action must not result in an "excessive government entanglement" with religion.
