Atheist group wants to stop World Trade Center cross

(CNN) -- A group of atheists has filed a lawsuit to stop the display of the World Trade Center cross at a memorial of the 9/11 terror attacks.

The "government enshrinement of the cross was an impermissible mingling of church and state," the American Atheists say in a press statement.

The group says it filed the lawsuit this week in state court in New York and posted a copy of the lawsuit on its website.

The lawsuit names many defendants, including the state of New Jersey, the city of New York , New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg and New Jersey Governor Chris Christie.

NJ Governor Chris Christie for a NYC situation???  :bird:

Nothing about the muzzie temple, though.

This is crazy and a large part of the reason why there is such a negative image of those of us who are atheist.

These folks just need something to bitch about it would seem.  :bird:
