The Barton County (Missouri) Sheriff’s Office has added “In God We Trust” decals to its vehicles, and posted a photo on its Facebook page. In July, sheriffs offices throughout Missouri started adding the national motto to vehicles after the Missouri Sheriffs Association voted to approve use of the decals.The Freedom From Religion Foundation has lodged complaints with sheriffs offices in Arkansas, Missouri, Mississippi, Florida, Virginia, North Carolina, Kentucky and Illinois. FFRF Co-President Annie Laurie Gaylor wrote in a letter to Stone County (Missouri) Sheriff Doug Rader, “Elected officials should not use their government position and government property to promote their religious views.”
