的t is a fact that Christianity is not a religion [View all]
On his show Wednesday night, Fox News host Bill OReilly accused American Atheists president David Silverman of being a fascists who wanted to banish Christmas from the United States.
During the contentious interview, OReilly insisted that Christmas displays in public buildings were not a constitutional issue because Christianity is not a religion.
It is a fact that Christianity is not a religion, it is a philosophy, the Fox News host declared confidently. If the government was saying that the Methodist religion deserves a special place in the public square, I would be on your side.
Silverman said he would be just as upset if a public figure promoted atheism.
Jesus Christ, OReilly said, then apologized. He added that Christmas trees had nothing to do with Christianity and were a secular symbol.
Silverman responded that he was not against Christmas celebrations per se, he was only against the government favoring Christianity over other religions.
OReilly said Silvermans views were insane and that he should get his merry band of fascists together to re-vote on Christmas being a federal holiday. After Silverman objected to being called a fascist, OReilly again reiterated the point by saying he was a fascist because he wanted to banish Christmas.
