		<title>NOVA Atheists Display Is Now Up</title>
		<description><![CDATA[On Saturday, Dec. 16, we put up our own display on the Loudoun County Court House lawn. The NOVA display, like all of our previous displays, failed to trash christianity or to attack christmas.

		<title>Our October Banner &#8211; Imagine!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The poignant lyrics of John Lennon&#8217;s Imagine, serve as a defacto atheist anthem to many of us. John&#8217;s October birthday gives us ample reason to remind the public of not only his life and music, but of the message in his music, that the world would get along fine without religion.

		<title>Science on the Lawn</title>
