<p>Uh-oh. Bill O&#8217;Reilly ain&#8217;t gonna be happy about this. That nutjob is already convinced that we &#8220;godless liberals&#8221; have declared an unholy war on the sacred holiday of Christmas. Now there&#8217;s evidence that he&#8217;s right — atheists are trying to steal the holiday from christians!</p>
<p>Worse yet, this new attack in the War on Christmas comes straight from America&#8217;s heartland. A greeting card company from Iowa City, Iowa, has now come out with a line of <a title="Atheist Holiday Cards" href="http://www.atheistholidaycards.com/" target="_blank">christmas cards for atheists</a>. The company is called <strong>Order of St. Nick</strong>, and they have designed several cards to please the discriminating atheist. Even the well-known evolutionist P. Z. Myers has given the cards his &#8220;blessing.&#8221;</p>
<p>Order of St. Nick&#8217;s owner and creative director, Andrew Shaffer, puts it this way:</p>
<blockquote><p>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&#8217;s clear that atheists are already joining in on the celebration. Why not openly embrace them in the spirit of the season?</p></blockquote>
<p>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 &#8220;The red nose isn&#8217;t weird&#8230; it&#8217;s an evolutionary advantage.&#8221; A fourth card shows a snowman and reads &#8220;The atheist snowman was a man of science and a firm believer in Darwin&#8217;s theory of evolution&#8230; until he met his creator.&#8221; There are eight card designs in all.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve got to get me some of those cards!</p>
