Town Puts Up God Bless America Banner After Atheists Criticism According to recent reports, one community in the Midwest has decided to take a stand after an atheist organization targeted a God Bless America poster hanging in a local post office. The Freedom from Religion Foundation were outraged when they saw the banner, which was hung just after the September 11 attacks. The group filed a lawsuit, forcing the banner to be taken down in late January. It had been hanging for 15 years. When the community caught word of the controversy, a local business called Jakes Fireworks decided to print 1,200 God Bless America yard signs and more than 300 banners. All of the signs were distributed to the community within 45 minutes. Were among the majority that didnt agree with the decision to take the sign down, retail sales director Jason Marietta told local reporters. Sen. Jerry Moran weighed in on the issue as well, claiming that the Constitution guarantees freedom of religion, not freedom from religion. It is outrageous that some would aim to divide a community over a banner that has been proudly displayed since Sept. 11, 2001, Moran wrote on his Facebook account. I commend the Pittsburg community for rejecting this decision and I stand with them. What do you think? Do you support the community for taking a stand?
