New Atheist's Holy Day

A Florida judge ruled recently in the case of an atheist challenging the religious holidays of Easter and Passover, complaining that atheists were being discriminated against because they had no such recognized days.
The judge told the atheist's lawyer, "But you do...... your client, counselor, is woefully ignorant".
The lawyer said, "Your Honor, we are unaware of any special observance or holiday for atheists."
The judge said, "The calendar says April 1st is April Fool's Day. Psalm 41 says '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. Court is adjourned."
