What right does a privately owned bank, not a government agency, have to tell another privately owned bank to remove all vestiges of Christianity from its bank? That is what has happened in Perkins, Oklahoma. They were ordered to remove anything that said Merry Christmas and Bible verse of the day. Employees could not wear any crosses or pins resembling the Christian faith:
"Specifically, the feds believed, the symbols violated the discouragement clause of Regulation B of the bank regulations. According to the clause, “…the use of words, symbols, models and other forms of communication … express, imply or suggest a discriminatory preference or policy of exclusion.”

money created out of thin air
backed by nothing
This situation is akin to a Mafia boss telling his lieutenant not to wear a cross while he gambles because it's sacrilegious. This event would be comical if it weren't so tragically ignorant.

Seriously? ? ? What the #$@$ is the world coming to.
In this case if it was me, i would pull a few grand out of the banks profits and decorate the building up where it looked like Santa lived there year round. And would make a custom Santa to put out front, where he is looking in the window, and on his back it would say "Hey Fed's" on a arrow which would be pointing down.
Sorry but if something that pathetic offends someone they need to get a life.. PC Politically correct or Pu##y Control. What wimps we have become , ohhh that word offends me, make it stop make it stop..
What about the dollar bill which has religious ties right on it. What about the court system... ever been sworn in..hmmm now where do they make you put your hand....
I hope the bank owner challenges this.. I know i would even if it meant me going out of business.
