I’m not making this up…
According to an article
in the Washington Post on March 1, 2014 by wirter Michael E. Ruane, “The American Humanist Association filed a
lawsuit last week in federal court in Maryland calling for the removal of
Bladensburg’s 40-foot Memorial Peace Cross, which honors men from Prince
George’s County who died during World War I.
“The association and
three individual plaintiffs contend that the cross, which is on state property,
violates the constitutional principle of separation of church and state. The
cross was dedicated in 1925.
“The lawsuit states
that the humanist association is an organization that advocates progressive
values and equality for humanists, atheists, and freethinkers. One of the
individual plaintiffs, Steven Lowe of Washington, contends that the cross
“associates a Christian religious symbol with the state and gives the
impression that the state supports and approves of Christianity, as opposed to
other religions,” the suit says.”
