You read that title correctly: this billboard was put up by a CHURCH in New Zealand. St. Matthew in the City is a liberal Anglican branch that focuses less on supernaturalism and more on deeper metaphorical meaning:
"To make the news at Christmas it seems a priest just needs to question the literalness of a virgin giving birth. Many in society mistakenly think that to challenge literalism is to challenge the norms of Christianity. What progressive interpretations try to do however is remove the supernatural obfuscation and delve into the deeper spiritual truth of this festival."
Here is a link to their website, and here is a write-up they did on the billboard.
