Atheists Target “God’s Country” Sign in Small Town Texas

“There’s no way in hell we’re going to take those signs down”


Heaven forbid atheists show any tolerance for people of faith or that nasty, three-letter-word, “God”.

The Freedom From Religion Foundation is raising a stink over a highway road sign that has been a staple of Hondo, Texas since the 1930’s. Why? Because the sign refers to Hondo as “God’s Country”.
...........
In 2009, the signs were removed temporarily for a highway construction project. Local residents were happy to see their return in 2012 at the project’s completion. Even the local gardening club donated to the landscaping of the newly reinstalled “God’s Country” landmarks:

The Foundation is a national organization that trolls small towns for references to higher powers:

Hondo has about 9K residents and is the county seat of Medina County west of San Antonio. Looks like there are several of these signs in the town, they all say the same thing.

Atheists are intolerant jackasses.
