In Florida, an atheist created a case against the upcoming Easter and Passover holy days. His attorney filed a discrimination case against Christians, Jews, and observances of their holy days.
The argument was that it was unfair that atheists had no such recognized days. The case went as far as the appeal court. After listening to the passionate presentation by the atheist's lawyer, the judge banged his gavel to get everyone's attention. He had made a decision.
The lawyer for the atheist asked to speak. Permission was granted. The lawyer reiterated that the Christians have Christmas, Easter, and other days. The Jews, have Passover, Yom Kippur, and Hanukkah. The Muslims, also, have Ramadan, yet my client, and all other atheists, have no such holidays.
The judge leaned forward in his chair saying, "But you do. Your client, counsel, is woefully ignorant." The lawyer objected, "Your Honor, we are unaware of any special observance or holiday for atheists."
The judge said, "The calendar says April 1st is April Fools Day. Psalm 41:1 states, 'The fool says in his heart, there is no God.' Thus, it is the opinion of this court, that if your client says there is no God, then he is a fool. Therefore, April 1st is his day."
