Atheists sue to stop 'In God We Trust' engraving in nation's capitol

Anti-Christian bigotry, like that which took prayer out of schools, is behind an effort to remove National Motto and Pledge of Allegiance

July 15, 2009


According to the Associated Press, the nation's largest group of atheists and agnostics filed a lawsuit seeking to block an architect from engraving our national motto "In God We Trust," and the Pledge of Allegiance at the Capitol Visitor Center (CVC) in Washington.

Freedom From Religion Foundation's (FFRF) lawsuit claims the taxpayer-funded engravings would be an unconstitutional endorsement of religion.

The House and Senate passed identical resolutions this month directing the Architect of the Capitol to engrave "In God We Trust" and the Pledge in prominent places at the entrance, where 3 million tourists visit the CVC each year.

"In God We Trust" has been the national motto since 1956 and has appeared on U.S. currency since 1957. This is another attempt by the radical left to ban God from the public square. The foundation is also challenging the constitutionality of the National Day of Prayer.

Take Action!
Sign our Petition to Congress expressing your support for the engravings and encourage them to stand fast against anti-Christian bigotry. Don't let the atheists and agnostics censor our nation's rich Judeo-Christian heritage.

Please forward this to your friends and family.

1. When will the RW idiots learn some fucking history?

For example: "under God" was added to the Pledge due to the McCarthy evil bullshit of the 1950s ~~ it was NOT in the original pledge. I absolutely refuse to say those two words when the pledge is said.

I want the ORIGINAL restored ~~ how in the heck is that removing God from anything?

GMAFB....:eyes:

9. Bravo...

2. "Anti-Christian bigotry"...

So Anti-Muslim, Anti-Buddhist, etc bigotry is OK?

Just a case of my gawd is better than yours?

3. "God" can enter any damn square he likes...

He doesn't need you folks to carry him there.

4. I think "he" does.

5. I can make a case that such casual use of God's name to

imply that "God is with us" is a violation of the 2nd Commandment:Thou shall not take the name of the Lord in vain. Most people think that's a rule against cursing.It's really a rule against justifying your actions by claiming God's seal of approval.

6. What happened to E Pluribus Unum?

I thought that was our motto. It includes me whereas
"In god we trust" does not.

8. Who are the fucking Democrats who backed this?

I thought the Dixiecrats were all dead.

10. Is their faith in God so insecure that they have to carve his name all over public buildings?

I think these losers need to get a real problem.
