A small Texas town is rejecting demands from an atheist organization to remove crosses from the county courthouse, the Christian Headlines website reports today (May 15, 2019).
The Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF) sent a letter in late April to officials in Coldspring, Texas asserting that four white crosses on the sides of the building violate the U.S. Constitution's prohibition on government establishment of religion.
But last week the San Jacinto County Commissioners voted unanimously, 5-0, to keep the crosses on the courthouse.
Moreover, the Texas Attorney General's office applauded the commissioners' decision and pledged its legal support if the FFRF files suit.
