Holy Thursday

A Spanish court has denied atheists the opportunity to hold an alternative Holy Thursday procession today on the grounds that it would be offensive to Catholics and negative for tourism. One of the atheist groups organizing the march commented that:

the ban shows there is no separation of church and state in Spain

Sure...because I bet the pope loves the Spanish stance on the rights of homosexuals or the fact that only three percent of the population considers religion as a value of primary importance. Sounds like a regular theocracy to me.
