I don’t know…I don’t think it would fly, personally. People would probably criticize it as bigoted and racist (not that one can be “racist” — according to the proper definition of that term — if one is criticizing a Religion, but nevermind that fact).
Which is kind of a pity, because it would be nice to be able to demonstrate consistency in atheist thinking for once. really, if one is going to take the first step of mocking a Christian symbol with a silly parody thereof, why not move on to likewise mock other religions besides just Christianity? Islam is an easy target, for as big as it is, and Hinduism has more than a few elements which are ripe targets for satire. That modern atheism seems to concern itself only with mocking Christianity (for the most part, especially where symbols and slogans are concerned) says something, I think, about a certain lack of objectivity and intellectual consistency among most atheists.
