MADISON, Wis. (AP) — An atheist group is questioning whether a Republican legislator improperly used state resources to produce a Christmas greeting video in which he appears to encourage people to become Christians. Representative Scott Allen of Waukesha posted a video on the Wisconsin Assembly GOP’s You Tube channel on Dec. 18. In the video he invites anyone who isn’t Christian to “consider the hope offered by the Prince of Peace.” He goes on to quote several Bible verses. The Freedom From Religion Foundation sent letter Thursday to Assembly Speaker Robin Vos complaining that Allen is overtly proselytizing. The foundation notes it’s unclear whether state resources were used to produce or distribute the video but includes a request for all production-related documents.
