A national group that promotes the separation of church and state is launching an art contest and billboard campaign to protest Kentucky's new "In God We Trust" law.
The Freedom From Religion Foundation has funded billboards in South Dakota’s largest cities to protest a new state law requiring the display of the national motto “In God We Trust” in public schools.
When students returned to Kentucky public schools last month after summer vacation, they may have noticed something different: the words “In God We Trust” displayed in a prominent location in their school, as is now mandated by law.
It turns out that Christian activists are perfectly willing to let federal judges desecrate their religion, so long as the desecration also allows them to promote their religion.
How did “In God We Trust” get stamped on the currency of a country with a godless Constitution? How did a secular nation get a religious national motto?
