Uh-oh. Bill O’Reilly ain’t gonna be happy about this. That nutjob is already convinced that we “godless liberals” have declared an unholy war on the sacred holiday of Christmas. Now there’s evidence that he’s right — atheists are trying to steal the holiday from christians!

Worse yet, this new attack in the War on Christmas comes straight from America’s heartland. A greeting card company from Iowa City, Iowa, has now come out with a line of christmas cards for atheists. The company is called Order of St. Nick, and they have designed several cards to please the discriminating atheist. Even the well-known evolutionist P. Z. Myers has given the cards his “blessing.”

Order of St. Nick’s owner and creative director, Andrew Shaffer, puts it this way:

Christmas is a federal holiday in the United States. Every year it grows increasingly secularized, for better or for worse. Rather than feeling like outcasts around the holiday season, it’s clear that atheists are already joining in on the celebration. Why not openly embrace them in the spirit of the season?

Among the card designs are Charles Darwin dressed as Santa, and an evolutionary lineup going from the monkey to Santa Claus. Another card shows a reindeer with a red nose, which reads “The red nose isn’t weird… it’s an evolutionary advantage.” A fourth card shows a snowman and reads “The atheist snowman was a man of science and a firm believer in Darwin’s theory of evolution… until he met his creator.” There are eight card designs in all.

I’ve got to get me some of those cards!
