Christian license plates are un-American, according to a South Carolina federal judge. License plates displaying a cross and the phrase "I believe" were censored this week because of their controversial nature, and there are two opposing sides regarding the matter.
Apparently, many consider the plates un-constitutional, and believe that the government must never display favoritism of certain religious persuasions over others. However, others on the "believing side" argue that they are being censored, and want the right to choose a faith-based license plate when they pick from one of South Carolina's 103 tags.
In this case, I would tend to agree that religion should never be mixed with government-issued items. The separation of church and state, as always, should reign supreme. The Christians do have a right to express themselves, but by expressing themselves in such a manner that pertains to government, they may be violating that separation.
