Mountaintop experience: Jesus statue can stay ADF submitted legal opinion letter to Forest Service, will offer to defend memorial if attacked in court
HELENA, Montana — Attorneys with the Alliance Defense Fund say they will offer to defend a mountaintop Jesus statue, erected in 1955 by World War Two veterans and others in the Knights of Columbus, if the Freedom From Religion Foundation goes to court to have it removed. After receiving an outpouring of public comment, the U.S. Forest Service decided Tuesday to renew a special use permit that allows the statue to remain. ADF submitted a legal opinion letter to the agency in November of last year advocating that the Forest Service allow it to stay and explaining the falsehoods in the arguments of atheist groups like FFRF that are demanding its removal.
