Since non-theists are perpetually accused of waging a so called 'war on christmas' every year, Austin Cline (the host of the agnostic/atheist site at about.com) has assembled a collection of posters designed to match the perceived assault. They're mostly WWII propoganda posters in which the text has been suitably altered for the occasion. You're sure to find one or two to either amuse or outrage you, depending whose trenches you're in this year:

If you enjoyed those, there's a larger collection of similar items mocking the religious right in general:

Do you equate "religious" and "political right" ?

"Crush a Creche" seems the pithiest and most memorable, if a bit harsh.

How could even a heartless atheist like you take away Jesus from this innocent child?:'( http://z.about.com/d/atheism/1/6/P/z/2/SaveJesusForHer-e.jpg

No. There are many liberal theologians. But the religious right is getting all the press these days.

I think a War on Christmas expansion set to the Left Behind video game would be tight.

Shirley from God Hates Fags would have to be in it.

Awesome. It always bothered me that christmas, a religious holiday, is recognised as a public holiday by a government which is suppose to be secular. It seems akin to putting "in god we trust" on money, and always makes me angry at this time of year. Grrrr.
