The ACLU Hates the Bible
The ACLU Hates Jesus and those who profess faith in Him.
In fact, the statement has been made by ACLU attorneys that, "those who profess Jesus should be Jailed".
For more than 50 years, the ACLU and other radical activist groups have attempted to eliminate public expression of our nation's faith and heritage. They have done this through fear, intimidation, disinformation, and the filing of lawsuits (or threats of lawsuits) that would:
- Eliminate Christian and historic faith symbols from government documents, buildings, and monuments
- Ban public prayer in schools and at school functions
- Deny Christians the right to use public facilities that are open to other groups
- Prevent Christians from expressing their faith in the workplace
Through attacks like these, the ACLU and its allies have sought to limit the spread and influence of the Gospel in the United States.
The Alliance Defense Fund aims to keep that door open by providing case funding, strategy and coordination, attorney training, and litigation to defend religious freedom.
By God's grace, they are succeeding.
They have helped win numerous court victories that:
- Stopped discrimination against Christian employees
- Enabled Christian groups to use public facilities on the same terms as other organizations
- Preserved historic and Christian acknowledgement in public places

WILMINGTON, N.C. — Attorneys with the Alliance Defense Fund have offered free legal representation to a North Carolina school district that, after being threatened by the ACLU, has barred Gideons International members from distributing Bibles on elementary school campuses.
Hartnett County School District officials recently banned the practice, a long-standing tradition, after the ACLU claimed that it violated the Constitution.
"A religious organization such as the Gideons is not second class to other groups that are allowed to distribute literature for voluntary reading at public schools," said ADF Senior Legal Counsel David Cortman. "The ACLU’s claim that the district has somehow broken the law by honoring those equal access rights is not supported by current Supreme Court precedent."
Representatives from the ACLU contacted school district officials after receiving a complaint. As a result, Harnett officials made the decision to ban the distribution, rather than face possible legal action.
A copy of the letter sent Friday by ADF attorneys to Harnett County Superintendent of Schools Dan Honeycutt is available at www.telladf.org/UserDocs/HarnettLetter.pdf.
In a similar situation, ADF also offered legal representation to Cumberland County Schools, located in Fayetteville, N.C. In that situation, the ACLU claimed that the district’s policy of allowing outside groups to leave Bibles on elementary school campuses violated the U.S. Constitution (www.telladf.org/news/story.aspx?cid=4308).
"At no time did the school officials or the Gideons violate anyone’s constitutional rights," said Cortman. "The ACLU’s continued use of scare tactics to impose its agenda on public schools must be stopped. ADF is prepared to defend the school district free of charge should it choose to once again allow the distribution of Bibles by members of the Gideons and then be sued by the ACLU or any other group."

The ACLU proclaims itself to be the nation's "guardian of liberty," but their actions speak of a much more sinister purpose. From attacking religious expression to protecting child pornographers and pedophiles, the ACLU has worked for decades to destroy the America our Founding Fathers established. But by God's grace, we are now meeting these attacks in courtroom across America and winning! By supporting this vital effort and obtaining your copy of The ACLU vs. America, you not only help us expose the ACLU and its agenda, you also gain the tools to stand and defend your religious freedoms.
NEW ORLEANS — Attorneys with the Alliance Defense Fund filed their response in federal court to what is at least the sixth lawsuit filed by the American Civil Liberties Union against the Tangipahoa Parish School Board regarding religious expression issues. The latest lawsuit is a direct challenge to the board’s practice of opening public meetings with prayer.
"A prayer shouldn’t be banned just because someone may be offended by it," said ADF Senior Legal Counsel Mike Johnson. "Just because the ACLU claims it is offended by public invocations does not mean the invocations must be silenced. Through their campaign of fear, intimidation, and disinformation, the ACLU and its allies continue their threats against hometown governments that they consider to be easy prey."
On Feb. 29, the ACLU filed a new lawsuit against the Tangipahoa Parish School Board for opening its meetings with prayer, after the school board adopted a model invocations policy prepared by ADF attorneys (www.telladf.org/news/story.aspx?cid=4210). Last July, the full panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit dismissed a previous lawsuit brought by the ACLU, stating that the ACLU’s "offended observer" claim lacked standing (www.telladf.org/news/story.aspx?cid=4188).
"The Constitution protects public officials who choose to invoke divine guidance and blessings upon their work," said Johnson. "Public officials throughout the country need to be encouraged and reminded that they can and should resist the increasingly radical demands of secularist groups, such as the ACLU."
The ACLU is Against School Choice too.
PHOENIX — Attorneys with the Alliance Defense Fund filed a friend-of-the-court brief with the Arizona Court of Appeals to defend the state’s corporate tax credit tuition program on behalf of School Choice America, a non-profit student tuition organization. Earlier last year, an Arizona trial court dismissed a lawsuit brought by the American Civil Liberties Union and its allies seeking to declare the tax credit program unconstitutional.
The ACLU and its allies filed suit to stop the state program for corporate taxpayers because it allows tuition scholarships to be used at private religious schools. An Arizona trial court dismissed the case before, following an earlier Arizona Supreme Court decision which found that donations made by individuals to non-profit student tuition organizations did not violate the so-called "separation of church and state."
"The ruling issued by the trial court was clear: The tax credit program is constitutional and does not violate the law," McCaleb said.
Last year in New Orleans, the ACLU tried to get a painting of Jesus removed from the Slidell city courthouse.
Fortunately, the court recognized that the First Amendment allows public officials, and not the ACLU, to determine what is appropriate for acknowledging our nation’s legal and cultural heritage.
It’s sad that we’ve reached a point where such images have to be defended. This ruling is believed to be the first-ever federal court decision to specifically review and uphold as constitutional an image of an adult Jesus on public display. While such images and other religious symbols are common in public buildings throughout the U.S., none have been challenged in this manner before.
But people, this type of lawsuit is what happens when Liberals like Obama Rule.
Obama and his ACLU co-horts are chomping at the bit to place more Fascist Liberals on the Supreme Court and other Judicial benches.
Despite these and many other successes, a great deal of work remains. By supporting the Alliance Defense Fund, you can help win the battle for religious liberty.
The ACLU has over 200 million dollars in their war chest to destroy America.
Talk to your friends and family. Explain to them that a vote for Obama means a vote for the ACLU and a vote AGAINST Religious Freedoms.

Here's the thing: The United States is NOT a Christian nation. It may be majority Christian, but to say it is a Christian nation would be to marginalize and trivialize believers of all the other faiths in the US, not to mention the atheists.
I have been a proud, card-carrying member of the ACLU for nearly 20 years. The ACLU is one of the things that prevents this country from slipping into the kind of repression of ethnic and religious minorities that you find in China and used to find in the Soviet Union. The ACLU is by no means opposed to Christianity or Christians or religious expression. Conservative Populist, you're engaging in distortions, exaggerations, and taking statements out of context for the purpose of supporting your our demagoguery. The ACLU is only interested in preventing extremist Christians like you from imposing your beliefs on other people who may not share your radical views.
To anonymous: Your comment that "the ACLU is by no means opposed to Christianity or Christians or religious expression" is CRAZY!
The ACLU HATES Christians. Are you raving MAD? Is your head in the sand? At every turn the ACLU tries to put roadblocks in the way of Christians free speech, whether it be of a group of students wanting to use a public school for a Bible study or an employee that wants to wear a cross, etc. etc.
By the way, what is so radical about my views anyway? That I love this country and am for REAL Free Speech UNLIKE the ACLU which attempts to Exterminate ALL Free Speech of any Christian nature.
No my friend "anonymous" (by the way, why are you afraid to name yourself anyway?) the ACLU wants a Facist Government Run by Elitist People like yourself and Atheists.
I want Freedom of Speech.
The ACLU DOES NOT.
