In Jewett City, Connecticut there is a Baptist church whose chimes go off every hour followed by a song. An atheist from another town was driving through the borough when the chimes went off and then over it's P.A. system played "Onward Christian Soldiers".
The P.A. system is owned by the local town government and they let the church use it. The man is now bringing a suit to court to get them to separate church and state (ie: stop having the church use the P.A. system to play music which may be 'offensive' to some). And for the record, the church also plays "America The Beautiful & Somewhere Over The Rainbow."
Please share your thoughts and opinions on this.
