“A Jewish firefighter who wants to display a Christian cross
as part of a New Jersey 9-11 memorial is facing stiff opposition from a group
of atheists who called the religious image ‘grossly offensive.’ ”
The American Atheists are threatening to sue Princeton, NJ
if they proceed with plans to erect the memorial. They took issue with a beam
that was salvaged from the ruins of the World Trade Center because a cross had
been cut out of one side of the beam.
“This particular beam
has a religious symbol on it,” American Atheists president David Silverman told
Fox News. “They have a beam with a religious symbol and that makes it a
religious icon.”
Silverman said placing the beam on public land would be a
“clear violation of the separation of church and state.” [Fox News, 27AUG13}
Nowhere in the Constitution do either of these two words appear: "church" "separation"
