Last year, the Grinch stole Solstice; this year, he got violent.

The end of December marks the Winter Solstice in the Northern Hemisphere, the time when the sun is lowest on the horizon, and long before Christianity, civilizations have marked this time with fire, feast, and evergreen decoration. Every December, there are holiday displays at Pacific Park in Santa Monica. Almost all are New Testament dioramas sponsored by churches in honor of the birth and childhood of Jesus.

SEAL BEACH-Members of an atheist group that held a social meeting at a local tavern are expressing concerns about being told to take down a sign placed on the table to identify their group, the Seal Beach Atheists.

A group organizer says she won't go back to Hennessey's Tavern on Main Street after a manager told the group during a meeting Sunday that customers were complaining about their sign.

"I think they just wanted to push us out of the bar," said assistant group organizer Claire Weaver, 30, of Huntington Beach. "This kind of stuff happens all the time."

Managers at Hennessy's were not available for comment and Hennessy's corporate office said on Tuesday the incident had not been reported to headquarters.

LOS ANGELES, November 9, 2009-Atheists United applauds the Los Angeles Police Department for severing its ties with the organization that administrates its Police Explorer Program, which was affiliated with the Boy Scouts of America, whose openly discriminatory policy prohibits the participation of atheist and gay youth and adult leaders. This is a bold stand for the LAPD to make, considering the popularity of the Scouting program and the perceived positive impact it has in the community. For too long, the Boy Scouts has been able to discriminate against atheist and gay youth and leaders without any retribution from the many local, state and federal government agencies that support, promote and directly fund The Boy Scouts but whose anti-discrimination laws directly conflicts with Scouting policy.
