In reply to the discussion: Henderson County delays ruling on atheist sign display [View all]cbayer
(146,218 posts)8. I'm confused. How can this organization be demanding that a memorial in
one state be removed for violating state/church separation laws and demanding that they be allowed to put something on public property here.
Doesn't that seem like a huge contradiction?
They should choose one side and stay on it, it seems to me. Either no theistic/atheistic references on public property or equal availability on public property.
What am I missing?

Then consistency requires they ask for an atheist memorial in Woonsocket rather than removal.
