Unfortunately, we have a very organized atheist community in my city - they are very quick to attempt to bring legal action against anything they see as an infringement of their "freedom from religion" - they recently bullied the local high school (with the help of the ACLU) to ban kids from holding Bible studies on school property - apparently it would be offensive to any non-believer that happened to be walking by.
This is the same group that you can all thank for Nativity scenes disappearing from public squares. They took their case to the U.S Supreme court almost 20 years ago, even though private funds paid for the scene in our town square, they won the fight that it was against the Constitution. So now our "Holiday" display consists of snowflakes, snowmen and "Holiday" trees (apparently it is also offensive to say Christmas.
