Quick recap of the Georgia license plate story: 1) Georgia wanted people to vote online for the next state license plate. There were 8 options to choose from. 2) Three of them had “In God We Trust” written on the bottom… (Images aren’t working on this link) 3) State officials told the media that IGWT was NOT going to be on the plates.

Niko Alm seems thrilled that Austrian officials gave him the green light to wear a colander, the official headwear for Pastafarians, in his driver’s license picture. It’s only fair — they allow for other religious head covering as well: “Today I was able to get my new driving license, and in it you can clearly see that I’m wearing a colander on my head to demonstrate my allegiance to the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster,” Alm wrote in his… Read more
Texas Governor Rick Perry plans to hold a giant Prayer-and-Fasting-fest to fix our nation’s problems on August 6th at Reliant Stadium.

This is obviously a church/state violation and the Freedom From Religion Foundation filed a federal lawsuit yesterday (PDF) to put a stop to… Read more
