Will Atheists win its appeal to remove Ground Zero Cross?
Myra Adams bizpacreview.com
Here is a court case worth watching — an example of “tyranny of the minority” brought by American Atheists who comprise only 1.6 percent of the population.
Remember those two intersecting steel beams that formed a cross at the World Trade Center wreckage? Upon discovery, the beams immediately became an emotional symbol of the 9/11 attacks.
However, American Atheists are fighting their second court battle to have the Ground Zero Cross removed from the World Trade Center Memorial Museum.
After losing their first lawsuit against the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey in the United States District Court on March 28, 2013 — American Atheists filed an appeal on August 9, 2013.
That case is now winding its way through the Court of Appeals.
Here is the official filing brief. Please note that the filing address of American Atheists on the front page is P.O. Box 666, the numbers associated with Satan. (This is not a joke.)
The Atheist arguments from the court documents are as follows:
The essential problem with the Cross is that it alienates non-Christians seeking to commemorate the dead, wounded and other affected persons. The Cross also alienates those who wish to learn about events at the National September 11 Memorial & Museum. The 17-foot tall Christian Cross is one of the largest objects in the Memorial. It dominates all other religious objects. The inclusion of information to accompany the Cross does not change the essential facts that in the present case the government is sponsoring and erecting an indisputably religious symbol which advances one religion above all other religions and non-religion as well.
Fortunately, the American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ) is taking the Atheist’s appeal very seriously and will soon be filing a “friend of the court” brief.
The ACLJ and its leader, Jay Sekulow, have been in the news recently because they are representing a majority of Tea Party groups against the IRS.
