I'm sure that the church has a front lawn they can display their nativity scene on, or at least one of the congregants does. Same is true of the atheists. Why does it have to be a public park?
Why does it matter if it is in a public park or not? Christian Bible Camps and other such things take place at public beaches many times... should they be banned as well?
