FFRF: Our "There is no God sign" is okay, but not your "God bless America" signs

A little background: Every Christmas, the bizarrely named Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF) puts up a sign denouncing religion and the existence of God in the Wisconson state capitol building. They have every right to do this. It's ridiculous, bigotted and asinine, but they have the right to be that way.

Well, now they're mad because someone put a couple "God bless America" signs outside a city hall in New York state:
One of the signs, an 11-foot banner, reads, "Thank You to Our Troops, God Bless America." The other sign reads, "God Bless America" and displays a community calendar on the reverse side.

Two groups, including the Freedom from Religion Foundation, reportedly have complained to Bellone that the signs violate the so-called "separation of church and state."

No doubt, FFRF will pay for this battle using currency printed with the phrase "In God We Trust."
