Godless Easter?

Not The Solely Themes Banned
There’s a complete record of different prohibitions as nicely.

Lots of these stuff you would in fact not wish to be concerned within the contest.
However have they got to get so leftwing preachy about it?
The thought of freedom of faith and speech, each protected by our First Modification, is to permit many religions and concepts to flourish, not stamp them out.
Having an Easter egg artwork content material prohibiting spiritual themes will not be solely absurd – all the motive the vacation exists is to rejoice what Christians consider to be the Resurrection of Jesus Christ after he was crucified – it’s an affront to the American best of freedom of faith itself.
Perhaps we’ll have completely different White Home occupants come subsequent Easter.
