Louisiana City Puts “In God We Trust” on Government Property

The Lake Charles, Louisiana city council just passed a unanimous ordinance to put the phrase “In God We Trust” on all its local government vehicles. “According to The Christian Post, the city council believes the well-known American motto will encourage citizens to trust their local law enforcement officials.”

The Lake Charles city council approved the measure in November. The decal will be added to all police vehicles, firetrucks, and public work vehicles. There has been a little pushback from different groups, “especially from atheist organization Freedom from Religion Foundation, which argues that displaying the motto on government vehicles violates the Establishment Clause.” Dan Barker, the co-president of the atheist group, “told The Blaze in August that the Freedom from Religion Foundation ‘would love to sue over a case’ involving the ‘In God We Trust’ decals. The group has sent letters to sheriffs offices across America demanding the removal of the decals.”

Other cities around the country are putting “In God We Trust” on government vehicles. “Childress, Texas Police Chief Adrian Garcia added that ‘I think with all the assaults happening on officers across the country… it’s time we get back to where we once were.”’
