Martha Chennelle and Amy Houser weren't happy:A sign posted by Atheists in the Rockville's Central Park has people talking, prompting calls to the town hall and the local clergy. The
Connecticut Valley Atheists posted the three-sided sign, which some call a billboard, and it was the only sign in the town center marking the Holiday season. Two sides of the display feature the Twin Towers, framed by the words "Imagine No Religion."The sign, put up by the Connecticut Valley Atheist Group, which was supposed to mark the winter solstice, but the "Imagine No Religion" part of it, taken from John Lennon's song, "Imagine," has a lot of people upset...
The picture of the Twin Towers [on the poster] is meant to show that without religion, 9-11 wouldn't have happened. A suggestion that has upset Muslims, as well.
"We believe that Christ is the reason for Christmas," said Chennelle. "I feel like this is an attack on my beliefs as a religious person," said Houser... Chennelle and Houser have been fighting back with prayer.
