One of the things that keeps churches in business are people who are too stupid to grasp the fact it is never the job of our secular government to backstop their religion. If this pastor is upset, then have them move the nativity to the front lawn of his church. No one is going to complain, and it won't be illegal. Conservative Christians are never happy unless they're being allowed to mark their territory in the public square, owned by everyone.

What does the nativity display on the church lawn look like?

Y’all are the ones who celebrate Jesus’ demise, hell, there’s already Easter crap up in some stores. And there’s usually some cross somewhere around the nativity. Don’t be claiming atheists and Satanists want to kill Jesus, your whole religion depends on him being murdered. We just don’t think he is real, or god or whatever.

If you don’t want Santa next to baby Jesus, then don’t put a Santa display up next to your crèche on your property. If you’re gonna demand the government put up a religious display, then expect other religions and interested parties to do the same. The government doesn’t belong to you, or your religion, it belongs to all citizens. And your religion should have even less say in this crap since it doesn’t pay into the coffers of the government, but sure takes plenty out of them. Die mad about it.
