How is the atheist display in the WA St Capitol any more rude than Christians telling us we will burn in hell?

What really upsets me about this plaque is the the little phrase "may reason prevail". That is basically saying that anyone who believes in God is not using reason. We use reason just as you use reason. Surely we are all not expected to think the same or be ostracized. I do not call atheists idiots or ume that they do not use reason. I expect the same public courtesy. A winter solstice display in no way offends me if it is done with taste just as the Musllim and Jewish displays do not offend me.
