Atheist Holiday Tree Vandalized At Rossmoor

A holiday tree put up by the Rossmoor Atheist and Agnostic Club has been vandalized twice this month.

The "Freethought Tree of Knowledge" was put up on Dec. 14, but the display with the tree and book covers was knocked down four days later, according to a story in the Rossmoor News.

Two days later, club members put the tree back up, but last Friday the tree was dismantled and its remnants were scattered over the nearby grounds.

A report and photos were taken of the incident, according to the Rossmoor News.

The club has permission from the Golden Rain Foundation, which oversees operations at the senior citizen community, to put their tree in a holiday display area on Rossmoor Parkway north of the tennis courts.
