Humanist Group Objects to ‘In God We Trust' License Plate

The new standard license plate has been sold since January

A national group that includes atheists and agnostics is objecting to Mississippi's new standard license plate design that has the phrase "In God We Trust."

The American Humanist Association sent a letter Thursday to the state's revenue commissioner and attorney general. It demands that Mississippi either set a new standard license plate design without a religious phrase or allow people to get another license plate design without paying an extra fee.

The association says it could sue Mississippi if the change is not made.

Mississippi offers several specialty license plate designs that cost $30 extra per year.

The new standard license plate has been sold since January. The center of the license plate shows the state seal, which includes "In God We Trust."
