An atheist group that calls itself The Satanic Temple has threatened to sue Mississippi if it decides to add the national motto \u201cIn God We Trust\u201d to its flag.<\/p>\n

Recently, Republican Mississippi Governor Tate Reeves signed a law to change the state flag in order to remove the Confederate battle flag, which has long been on the banner.<\/p>\n

According to the approved legislation, known as House Bill 1796<\/a>, the new design for the state flag cannot include the Confederate banner, but it will require \u201cIn God We Trust.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Randazza Legal Group, which is representing the Satanic Temple, sent a letter to Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitch, protesting the decision.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2026 removing one divisive symbol of exclusion only to replace it with a divisive phrase of exclusion does not eliminate exclusion,\u201d claimed the letter.<\/a><\/p>\n
