Atheist Advent Calendar – Day 19 – Charlie Brown Explains The (Real) Meaning of Christmas

Or on a similar note…   Or this…

Atheist Advent Calendar – Day 18 – Indoctrination Summarized in Three Short Lines

It’s been said that if there was a law making it illegal to introduce religion to a child, the same as our society does with other things children aren’t capable of handling such as alcohol, driving and gambling, religion would disappear within a single generation. I agree.
