NEW YORK (CBN) – An atheist group has filed a lawsuit to remove the World Trade Center Cross from New York’s September 11th Memorial and Museum. Members of American Atheists say the cross is an unconstitutional “mingling of church and state.” The American Center for Law and Justice has called the federal lawsuit “deeply flawed and without merit.” Attorney Jay Sekulow says, “This is another attempt to rewrite the Constitution and rewrite history by removing a symbol that has deep meaning and serves as a powerful remembrance to that fateful attack nearly ten years ago.” The 20-foot cross was found in the Ground Zero rubble by a construction worker shortly after the 9/11 attacks. It was placed inside the memorial museum on Saturday. Many New Yorkers say the cross was a beacon of hope for the city and the nation following the tragedy.
