Atheist group demands Calif. city cease use of all chaplains after banning Jesus prayers.
An atheist group is urging a California city that recently prohibited chaplains from praying in the name of Jesus to end its practice of having city-sponsored chaplains.
The Carlsbad City Council recently received a complaint letter from the First Liberty Institute (FLI) regarding their telling two chaplains that they cannot pray in Jesus’ name.
In response, the Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF) sent a letter last Friday to Carlsbad Mayor Keith Blackburn urging him “to end any city-sponsored chaplaincies and stop allowing individuals to spread their personal religious beliefs on behalf of the city.” CP.
