I’m from Indiana too, and when I got new plates this summer, the lady got me one of the “In God We Trust” plates. When I asked for the other ones, she gave me the dirtiest look I have ever seen.

Majority didn’t win this round of trying to unite church/state relations.

Good for this judge.

Thanks gettingfree, for the link, always good to Pharangulate a poll.

Sadly I need to learn to stop reading the comments on these types of stories. The massive amount of Christian-based stupidity makes me throw-up in my mouth a little.

Andrew, I too am a Hoosier.
Our plates, which do not cost extra, unlike other vanity plates, say “In God We Trust.”
For a while, the Motor Vehicles people were actually pushing them on people who didn’t express a preference for the secular plates. That much has ended.
I just can’t believe the courts haven’t ended this.

Off topic, but here’s a POLL regarding Cincinnati’s atheist billboard…

Andrew, I agree, TX offers God Bless Texas and God Bless America but nothing remotely different than that. I’m tempted to order the damn thing and cross out the letter b and insert a dash between the d and l.

Now if only the courts here in Indiana hadn’t upheld the ridiculous “In God We Trust” license plates as constitutional.

Of course the look on the lady’s face at the BMV when I told her why I’d rather not have those new plates was almost worth the steady erosion of the establishment clause.

What ever happened to plain old license plates?
Xtians just HAVE to have their symbols on everything, how irritating. They can’t leave state functions alone, even on something as lowly as a license plate!
I’m glad they got a “reason” plate to counter this. They need one with a star and crecent- this would piss them off I’m sure

SC already has a plate that reads “In god we trust”…one of the reasons for the “In Reason We Trust”. Another christian plate was just a bit over the top.
