WH23 was wondering how prevalent atheists assumed Christianity was. I think this is a good example. While it's relatively harmless, as an "outsider" to religion, it is pretty noticeable how many things revolve around religion in the US.
Can't wait for those license plates featuring the Giant Spagetti monster....
Texas approves controversial license plate featuring crosses
Last week, the board of the state's Department of Motor Vehicles voted to approve the "Calvary Hill" specialty license plate that reads "One State Under God" and features three crosses.
Motorists who choose to buy the plate pay a surcharge, which is divided between the state and the sponsoring group -- in the case of Calvary Hill, a Christian-based youth anti-gang ministry in the east Texas city of Nacogdoches.
The board, all appointees of Gov. Rick Perry, voted 4 to 3 to approve the plate the same week he unveiled a television ad in Iowa in which he vowed to end President Obama's "attacks on religion."
The Republican presidential hopeful has avoided commenting about the Calvary Hill plate, saying the DMV board acted alone.

I wonder if the pope approved this? WWJT?

its fkn stupid, another stupid ponzi scheme using religion to raise funds cause of state mismanagement
I want the bloody coat hanger license plate.
Seriously, a Flying Spaghetti Monster plate would just ensure your car would get defaced by bible thumpers.
that's just one example of how crazy bible thumpers think Jesus wants them to act, defacing the property of people who disagree with them. Blowing up abortion clinics is another example of Jesus-like behavior.
The one state under god line is primed and ready for an atheist lawsuit.
Cool License plate.

You can even get one for the Knights of Columbus and, there are several that carry various slogans such as In God We Trust and One Nation Under God, etc...
There are already several -- that have been around for awhile -- that carry a similar slogan and I'm not aware of any suit.
Can yoni get a burning cross license plate?
A south carolina lawsuit comes to mind.
Even as an atheist, I have no objection to these plates. I'm happy to let people voluntarily fund our DMV with surcharges.
Okay; not in Texas.
However, I was against the Confederate Flag plates unless they were also going to do other plates of the country's whose flag has flown over TX
It was/is a lawsuit claiming the plates are uncons utional that say "i believe".
I don't know if anyone will spend time or money fighting it in texas, but I think it's primed for it.
I don't care enough to make any kind of fuss. Generally, I like to know if I'm driving behind a stupid person.

A statement so nice, you said it twice.
And, that's how I feel about people with Obama bumper stickers
I tend to find all political bumper stickers to be indicative of an artificially inflated understanding of people's give-a- towards the political leanings of the person in the car they're driving near.
For some reason, I believe you.
Do atheists not believe in the first amendment?
So you are a bigot against those who like parts of the confederacy. To each his own I guess.
All their change is probably in their seat cushions.
