The following is the correct way to view the religion clauses of the first amendment...

"....Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof."





1. "Atheists unveil "first" monument on government property

2. STARKE, FLA. A monument to atheism now sits near a granite slab that lists the Ten Commandments outside a courthouse...

3. ....American Atheists unveiled the 1,500-bound granite bench Saturday as a counter to the religious monument in what's called a free speech zone.

4. ....it's the first such atheist monument on government property.

5. The atheists sued to try to have the Ten Commandments removed but dropped the case when they were told they could have a similar monument.

6. "The county's position had always been that if private groups wanted to install monuments in the forum, they were permitted to do so, but the county was not taking any position and did not want to spend any tax payer money,"...."

Seems sensible and within constitutional limits.

It's a bench :lol: , A nice place to park your behind.



When I saw this story, I saw the difficulty in coming up with a symbol for atheism.....

A bench wasn't a bad idea.



Here's some pretty good ideas:
