An atheist group has filed a lawsuit to remove the iconic World Trade Center Cross from New York's National September 11th Memorial and Museum, the Christian Broadcast Network website reports today (July 28, 2011).
Members of American Atheists say the cross is an unconstitutional "mingling of church and state," and if it's included in the museum, other beliefs should be displayed as well.
"As a public accommodation, the memorial must allow us (and all other religious philosophies) to include our own display of equal size inside the museum, or not include the cross," American Atheists president Dave Silverman said in a statement.
"Equality is an all-or-nothing deal," he added.
