Atheists Demand Removal of Biblical Scenes in High School Christmas Play

By Published on October 8, 2015

Atheists are suing an Indiana school district over a live nativity that is a staple in an annual high school Christmas show, calling the scene a “coercive” representation of an “endorsement of religion” and seeking its removal.

An unnamed high school student and his parent joined the Freedom From Religion Foundation, an atheist activist group, and the American Civil Liberties Union, in waging a complaint against Concord Community Schools in Elkhart, Indiana, that takes direct aim at the live nativity scene, USA Today reported.

The 20-minute scene has been a part of a predominately secular Christmas production in the district for 30 years, but atheists believe that it poses a constitutional conundrum — one that they’re taking to the courts in an effort to seek its mandated removal.
