The U.S. Department of Justice has waded into a legal brawl between a national atheist group and the Detroit Downtown Development Authority, which pledged $734,570 in grants to three historic churches in a major downtown face-lift in time for the 2006 Super Bowl.
If these churches can't pay for their own renovations then it just goes to show you how important the congregation feels about keeping it up.I also noticed that whoever wrote this article didn't seem to find it necessary to contact American Atheists, the professor or the lawyer involved. It was almost as if the writer slapped the names into the article as if to provide a hit list. Maybe not. I'm being cynical.
