Excerpt:

If a national atheist organization has its way, a series of 12-foot-tall memorial crosses that adorn Utah's highways will be taken down.

But not if the families of the people those crosses honor — state Highway Patrol troopers killed in the line of duty — have anything to say about it.

American Atheists Inc. has filed a federal lawsuit, arguing that the 13 white, steel crosses represent the death of Jesus Christ and therefore violate the First Amendment to the Constitution, which prohibits government establishment of religion.

I was watching Hannity & Colmes last night, and one of the guys from that organization was on there and got owned.

Oh brother! Here are the religious Atheists! Real Atheists wouldn't give a damn about what other people believe. Because in their view, people are "silly" if they believe in God. I have no problem with that, it's a good thing they don't rub it in our faces.
It's the religious Atheists that piss me off!
