The nativity scene didn't even frigging happen in the bible, let alone in real life.
That's hypocritical.
If people on here think that religion is rubbish. That surely must mean all religions, not just cherry picking those that are easy targets and avoiding, like the plague, any remote criticism of those religions, whose followers are likely to seek violent and fearful retribution.
That's not freedom of speech.
It's oppression !!
Clearly people who do not believe in religion have different beliefs to Christians, Hindus, Sikhs, Muslims, Jews, Buddhists, etc.
I don't agree with taking the 'p*ss' out of any religion or culture, but we have a right to criticise those whose values are incongruent with our own.
Is it a race/faith hate crime to criticise those who we vehemently disagree with?
Are we 'only allowed' to criticise specific religions or cultures, but not others?
If that is the case, then that is discrimination and oppression.
