>> This lawsuit to remove the picture of Jesus was initiated by Christians...As strange as that may seem.
The Director of Americans United is the Rev. Barry Lynn, an ordained minister in the United Church of Christ. <<

>> The United Church of Christ is a mainline Protestant Christian denomination with 1.3 million members. <<

Barry Lynn is a reverend only in the sense that he received a theology degree. He has never served a parish in his life. He spends about ten times as much time ministering to formal atheist organizations as to any church, and he repudiates many core Christian doctrine.\

The Rev. Barry Lynn is an Ordained Minister in the United Church of Christ and is prominately listed on their webpage along with other famous members of their congregation.

He spends about ten times as much time ministering to formal atheist organizations as to any church, and he repudiates many core Christian doctrine.

How do you minister to an Atheist organization?
Debate over core Christian doctrine has been going on since the Protestant Reformation. If you want to get technical about it, all Protestants are Heretics.
