Atheists Sue to Get God Out of Homeland Security

From WYMTNews.com:

FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) - A group of atheists has filed a lawsuit in
Kentucky seeking to remove God from the state’s homeland security
detail.

American Atheists Inc. filed the lawsuit in Frankfort on Tuesday, claiming Kentucky violated the Constitution by enacting a law in 2006 that stresses God’s role in protecting the state.

Of particular concern to American Atheists is a clause that requires the Office of Homeland Security to post a plaque that says the safety of the state “cannot be achieved apart from reliance upon Almighty God.”
