The “Freedom From Religion Foundation” is sponsoring a display in the Iowa statehouse that’s directly across the capitol rotunda from the nativity scene that was unveiled there a week ago. Annie Laurie Gaylor is the foundation’s co-president.

 

Gaylor says her group is happy to “share the season” of the Winter Solstice with Christians.

 

The Freedom From Religion display mentions the Winter Solstice. It also has the “Bill of Rights” pictured on top of a manger.

Gaylor says her group’s display was only erected in Iowa’s capitol because the nativity was placed there last week.
