MADISON, Wis. (AP) — An atheist group questioned Thursday whether a Republican legislator improperly used state resources to produce a Christmas greeting video in which he encourages people to become Christians and quotes Bible verses.Rep. Scott Allen is a freshman representative from Waukesha, one of Wisconsin’s most conservative cities. He posted a video on the Wisconsin Assembly GOP’s YouTube channel on Dec. 18 that shows him speaking in front of what appears to be a photograph of the giant Christmas tree in the state Capitol rotunda. In the video, he invites anyone who isn’t Christian to “consider the hope offered by the Prince of Peace.”He then goes on to ask people who celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ to consider two Bible verses from Hebrews about people spurring one another on toward love and good deeds and how those who believe will be saved.
