The World Net Daily website reports today (December 3, 2011) that the American Center for Law and Justice has sent the National Forest Service a letter with more than 70,000 names of people expressing their support for a statue of Jesus erected by World War II veterans as a war memorial on Big Mountain in Montana.
The veterans put the statue in place more than a half century ago.
The Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF) is challenging the renewal of a long-standing lease that permits the Jesus statue to remain at the Whitefish Mountain Resort, alleging it establishes the government's endorsement of religion.
Annie Laurie Gaylor -- co-president of the FFRF -- said the display "insults and excludes" atheists and non-Christians, in a statement to have it removed.
