MENOMINEE -- A Wisconsin-based group of atheists are protesting a decision by Menominee officials to allow a nativity scene on city property.

The nativity will be in the bandshell.

The Freedom from Religion Foundation filed a letter with the city, saying the display would violate the separation of Church and State.

The Parks and Recreation Committe's approval of the bandshell display comes with the provision that non-Christians be allowed to add their symbols.
