New monument for athiests?

Athiests have made a symbol/ monument of their non-belief and placed it next to a monument with the 10 commandments on it at a Florida county courthouse. Why was this done? If they don't believe in anything, why make a statue in honor of nothing.

    The ten commandments do not belong in front of what should be an unbiased courthouse. The atheist monument says so in stone.

    It has values listed on it, just not religious values. And it's perfectly legit since there was already a religious monument there. Next, maybe there will be a totem pole or some other religion's idolatry erected.

    one religious monument in front of a government building, goes against the american constitution.

    if christians are allowed to endorse their religion on public property, then atheist are allowed to endorse non-religion. the same goes for other religions, they are also allowed to endorse their beleifs right next to your commandments.

    I think there should be a Flying Spaghetti Monster statue on every court's lawn.

    You are failing to recognise that there is belief outside of God.

    It is in honor of freedom and recognition of progression.

    So Religious people can do it but others can't? Do you not see the problem with your question?

    as long as your stupid symbols are there, atheists can put up their stupid symbols
