City reverses 'religious art' ban

I am just so tired of this fallacy of "no religion in the public square" mentality. Glad that Christians are finally going on the offensive.

Just hours after being served with a lawsuit, a Florida town today reversed its decision to censor an artist's paintings from a Black History Month display at City Hall because they were deemed religious.
Lloyd Marcus filed the lawsuit this morning in federal district court after the city of Deltona refused to respond to a letter from the public-interest legal group Liberty Counsel demanding the paintings be reposted.
Due to the lateness of the day, Marcus will bring the paintings back to City Hall Monday morning, where they will be displayed for the rest of Black History Month, Liberty Counsel said.
Marcus, a Deltona resident and president of the Deltona Arts and Historical Center, is a well-known artist, entertainer and composer.
His artwork, displayed in the lobby of City Hall, included a partially covered Bible and church sign. Another picture depicts a festive New Orleans funeral and a third shows a Christmas basket. The paintings are a published series reflecting Marcus's childhood in his father's Baltimore church.
The city has continued to display works of other local artists that do not contain religious viewpoints, including a charcoal sketch of three famous African-Americans and a pastel rendering of jazz artist B.B. King.
