LOOK: Man places atheist banner next to nativity scene

(FOX NEWS)- Residents of a Washington, D.C. bedroom community say a banner placed next to a Nativity scene calling religion a "myth" is extremely disrespectful, Abby Huntsman reported.

"That's the birth of Jesus sitting here," one critic of the Manassas, Va. banner said in disgust.

The banner reads:

At this Season of the Winter Solstice, let reason prevail.

There are no gods no devils no angels no heaven or hell there is only our natural world.

Religion is but myth and superstition that hardens hearts and enslaves minds.

A member of the Freedom From Religion Foundation obtained a permit and placed the sign right next to the manger scene.
