I would be a much better statement if, like I said previously, it had a some charm and personality, some colorful lights perhaps or a fluffy bunny.

Ooh, a bunny!

And personally, it's religion's focus on "you're a bad person" messages that I find most distasteful, so I don't particularly love the same being used to supposedly argue a a point against them.

Yeah, I wish they had done it more... tastefully, tactfully, not quite sure what I want, but a blunt "religion is stupid" probably won't win points with anybody. I'm no fan of organized religion, but this is maybe a bit much.

There is NO government funding involved.

OK so no gov't funding; that helps. It's still public property, though, so I still have some issues with religious anything there.

I'm hoping for some elegance, or such in future displays. There are ways to promote human reason and rationality without being crude and nasty.
