Ohio —

The Belle Center Post Office in Belle Center, Ohio, is now free from religious material being displayed to patrons, thanks to FFRF’s legal advocacy.

A community member informed FFRF that the Belle Center Post Office in Ohio had literature from two Baptist publications, “Call to Glory” and “Baptist Bread,” on display and available for patrons to take.

“By allowing the display and distribution of religious literature on its grounds, the Belle Center Post Office is demonstrating a preference for religion over nonreligion, Christianity over all other faiths, and Baptists over all other sects,” FFRF Staff Attorney Sammi Lawrence wrote.

After FFRF’s letter, Postmaster Serina A. Leistritz directed staff to immediately remove any religious items from the post office. Leistritz forwarded FFRF the email with the instructions to her staff, and then informed FFRF that the material had been removed.
