Ohio —

FFRF made sure that Bellefontaine, Ohio, state property is not used to advance one religious group’s beliefs upon all other residents.

FFRF was informed by a resident that a “Jesus Saves” sign had been posted on an electrical pole in Bellefontaine.

“This religious display sends an exclusionary message that needlessly marginalizes Bellefontaine residents and other Ohioans and travelers who are non-Christians, including the nearly 30 percent of the population who are not religious,” FFRF Anne Nicol Gaylor Legal Fellow Kyle J. Steinberg wrote.

While FFRF never received an official response from the city, four days after FFRF sent its letter, the complainant emailed back with good news, informing that the correction had taken place. “The sign has come down,” the complainant wrote, adding that he appreciated FFRF’s work.
