Get ready, America. This upcoming July 4 is about more than simply celebrating our nation’s founding. Apparently, it’s also an opportunity for Atheists to set the record straight about their patriotism.

Thus, on Monday, people in 27 states will have the opportunity to look up in the sky and see airplanes flying banners that proudly say “God-LESS America“ or ”Atheism is Patriotic.” The campaign, being organized by the New Jersey-based American Atheists, is sure to stoke the fires of controversy.

their absence of religion embraced by the state is a violation of the First Amendment prohibition of the establishment of a religion.

Since atheism is the belief in the absence of God then by forcing God to be absent from government you are endorsing the religion of atheism. The very fact that God is seemingly not there is government saying that He does not exist.

Actually no...you are wrong... the words “Creator” and “Him” were DEFINITELY used. Pretty clear to me and all those not in Rio Lindo.

Yep. An endorsement of religion. What the First Amendment is supposed to guard against. Funny how people leave out the part about ‘the free exercise thereof’.

True, but the person who used them in the Declaration of Independence didn't have the same view of the "Creator" as you do. He was a deist. The person who wrote the Virginia Declaration of Rights pretty much did have the same view as you, but he did not write that the "Creator" is the source of rights.
