1st Amendment Violation?

So, would it be "...making a law respecting an establishment of religion..." to require that license plates bear the words, "In God we Trust"? And requiring those who don't want it there to pay extra to cover it up?

I think if your using financial pressure, or any other government backed fiat, to push religion, at the very least, you are crossing the line every bit as egregiously as Atheists who throw a fit and file suits over nativity scenes.

Worship (Or not.) as you wish, leave others to freely choose their own path. It's really very simple.

Why can't people figure that out?

Maybe they're afraid that if they allow this freedom, that their religion will fade out and cease to exist due to a lack of interest?

I think so.
