They told him he couldn't be Chief Justice unless he denied God....specifically they told him he wasn't allowed to acknowledge God.

Are you inferring from the decision to "fire" him that this is what they are intending to convey, that Moore is not allowed to acknowledge God? Are you saying that not allowing him to put the Ten Commandments on display in a government building is the same as being compelled to deny God, or at least, not to acknowledge God? Or did they say those exact words?

They specifically asked him if he would insist on acknowledging God. He said "yes" and that is why they said that he show no "contrition."

Now, you must understand that Moore pointed out that on his way into the District Court he noticed a statue of a Greek Goddess in their courtyard....he said, I think, that it was Athena.

That makes it clear that all Moore was doing was exercising his free speech as chief officer of the building over which he had been appointed authority.
