Atheists At It Again

A group of New York City atheists is demanding that the city remove a
street sign honoring seven firefighters killed in the 9/11 terrorist attacks
because they say the sign violates the separation of church and state.

The street, "Seven in Heaven Way," was officially dedicated last weekend in
Brooklyn outside the firehouse where the firefighters once served. The ceremony
was attended by dozens of firefighters, city leaders and widows of the fallen
men.

"There should be no signage or displays of religious nature in the public
domain," said Ken Bronstein, president of New York City Atheists. "It's really
insulting to us."

Bronstein told FOX News Radio that his organization was especially concerned
with the use of the word "heaven."

"We've concluded as atheists there is no heaven and there's no hell," he said.
"And it's a totally religious statement. It's a question of separation of church
and state."

David Silverman, president of American Atheists, agreed and called on the city
to remove the sign. "It implies that heaven actually exists," Silverman told FOX
News Radio. See Chick's THE TRIAL.
