(USA Today) A North Carolina sheriff said he “will not waiver” after the Freedom from Religion Foundation requested he remove a Bible quote from a wall located inside the government office.
The quote – “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. Philippians 4:13.” – can be seen in numerous photos shared on the Columbus County Sheriff’s Office Facebook page.
However, the Freedom from Religion Foundation, a national nonprofit group that promotes the separation of church and state, is demanding the quote be taken down, saying it promotes exclusion and violates the First Amendment by “government sponsorship of religious messages.”
