If the men and women driving the cars and serving in the Sheriff's Dept trust in God, I don't see the problem. If an Atheist is forced to drive around with that on his or her car, then I understand to a point.
Of course... Fox makes the title about the atheist, but they bring the other guy on instead...
I don't care what people put on bumper stickers. I don't even care if cops do it. But in fairness, 'In God We Trust' is a ridiculous national motto. It's too exclusive and frankly, slightly silly. I readily admit I'm biased on the issue of God but that doesn't change how the world works. The idea that God is somehow involved with events that happen is silly especially with the notion that God is a moral being. If a God is involved in the events of the world and has absolute power and authority, he's not moral. That's literally impossible when you look at the state of the world. Thus, this God fellow is the absolute last person I would trust with my nations' fate.
We should have a motto that reflects genuine American values involving individualism and integrity. I like the original one quite a bit more actually. 'E pluribus unum' is a proper motto.
Patrol cars are public property, separation church and state, policemen are lawmen not Church Militia, etc. Another open-and-shut First Amendment violation that will draw cries of agony from the same people who insist that not allowing third-graders to carry machine guns into school is a constitutional crisis even though the Second Amendment says "regulate" right there in the original text.
I wonder how FOX NEWS would report the story if the sheriff had a bumper sticker reading "Allahu Akbar" or "Operating Thetan Level Five" or "My other patrol car is a TIE fighter".
I guess the atheists should call someone else when they are in trouble so they don't have to see the bumper sticker.
I don't have to guess that atheists pay the taxes that purchase and maintain those cruisers.
