Lawmakers Consider Specialty License Plate for Christians

Richard Longoria

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) - Christians could proclaim their faith on their license plates under a bill making its way through the Florida Legislature.

The specialty plates would feature a cross over a stained-glass window. The words "I Believe" would be at the bottom of the
plate.

Floridians would pay an extra $25 for the plate. The money would go to a nonprofit group in Orlando called "Faith in Teaching" to support faith-based education.

Critics say the Christian message belongs on a bumper sticker, but putting it on license plates would violate separation of church and state.
