A prominent atheist organization is raising objections to a proposed national monument that would feature the phrase “In God We Trust.” The structure, designed to mirror Paris’s famous Arc de Triomphe, has drawn criticism from the Freedom From Religion Foundation, described as one of the nation’s largest atheist organizations. According to reports, the Foundation regularly works to remove Christian symbols and references from public spaces. The planned archway would commemorate the United States’ upcoming 250th anniversary and function as an entrance point to Washington DC.
