In California, long the birthplace of national trends, they succeeded in getting a federal judge to ban not only Nativity scenes, but also secular displays from Santa Monica's Palisades Park. Un-decking the public halls and squares is becoming our new national tradition, because equal-opportunity speech isn't good enough for self-righteous atheists. They won't rest until all remnants of our Judeo-Christian heritage are wiped clean from civic life in their quest for secular purity.<ref>[http://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2012/12/self-righteous_atheists_are_misguided_killjoys.html Self-Righteous Atheists Are Misguided Killjoys] by Robert Small, A''mnerican Thinker''</ref>}}
