The Washington Times website reports today (March 27, 2012) that a national atheist and agnostic group is suing Pennsylvania lawmakers for passing a resolution that declares 2012 as "The Year of the Bible."
The Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF) filed a federal lawsuit yesterday, arguing that Pennsylvania House's declaration is unconstitutional.
The resolution -- which was authored by state Rep. Rick Saccone -- passed unanimously in January.
The lawsuit names Saccone as one of three plaintiffs, and claims the resolution is tantamount to the state endorsing "state-sponsored religion."
