FFRF Protests Religious Quotes In U.S. Passport Design

Last week, the Freedom From Religion Foundation again protested to the U.S. State Department over the design of U.S. passports. (Press release.)  The passport, redesigned in 2007, includes a quote on each page aimed at "reflecting the hope and success that is the United States of America." (Background.) In its letter (full text) to the State Department, FFRF raised Establishment Clause concerns about four of the quotes which explicitly mention "God." It also made a Freedom of Information Act request for documents relating to decisions on the redesign.
