Bloomberg Defends Religious Freedom in 9/11 Cross Case

NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg Responds to American Atheists Lawsuit and Defends Cross at Ground Zero, 9/11 Memorial

NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg

Does a cross belong among the artifacts to be displayed at the 9/11 Memorial and Museum? The question, apparently, has become a point of contention.

At The Blaze reported last week, some — mainly atheists — say that a steel cross that was formed when the Twin Towers collapsed back in 2001 should not be included in a new museum intended to remember the lives lost during the tragic terror attack.

According to American Atheists (the same organization that coordinated July 4 plane banners in cities across the nation), the cross’ inclusion constitutes an “impermissible mingling of church and state.”

Over the weekend, in response to a lawsuit launched by American Atheists, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg directly addressed the impending legal battle that seeks to prevent the cross from being displayed at the memorial. Speaking in his weekly radio address, Bloomberg said that, though the group has the “right to sue,” he personally believes that the inclusion of religious symbols at the 9/11 museum should be allowed:

“A lot of people looked to religion for strength after the attack. My personal opinion [has] always been you shouldn‘t tell people what religion to practice or whether to practice a religion but you shouldn’t also prevent people from practicing a religion they want in any ways they want.”

Additionally, Bloomberg, who is named in the lawsuit, noted that Christianity isn’t the only faith being represented at the memorial. The Christian Post reports:

They include a Star of David cut from a piece of steel from the World Trade Center rubble, a Bible fused with a piece of steel found during the recovery effort and a Jewish prayer shawl.

But, Bloomberg‘s defense of the symbol also extended beyond religious tones and covered the cross’ historical value:

“This influenced people. It gave them strength. In a museum, you want to show things that impacted people‘s behavior back then even if you don’t think it was right. It’s history. Museums are for history and to teach people by example, well this is what people did back then and you are free to make your own decision.”

While some have criticized the mayor for his open support for the so-called Ground Zero mosque, this newfound call to allow the cross at the museum shows a level of consistency. It seems the city’s top leader takes religious freedom to what some may consider extremes, believing that everyone — regardless of his or her faith — has a right to be heard. This mentality even applies to the Atheists who are launching the suit:

“This group of atheists, they’re free in our country to not believe and not practice and we should defend their right to do that just as much as we should defend the right of every individual to practice and to believe.”

Aside from Bloomberg, others named in the complaint are the state of New Jersey, New York City, and New Jersey Governor Chris Christie. Below, watch an ABC News report on the American Atheists’ lawsuit:

      Secondly, erecting a crescent to, as you put it, “stick it” to anyone you believe needs “sticking it to” is merely a show of spite and has no place at a solemn place of remembrance.
      To forget that jihadis were responsible for the atrocity would be a very dangerous thing. To forget what gave people succor in a moment of pain and anguish (the cross on the site) would also be a dangerous thing. You lose again Rose-Ellen…your spite always seems to get the better of you.

      You know, speaking as a Christian believer, worship of Jesus Christ is the one, true faith. I say that because He’s the only one who makes people mad, and is the only one the haters really try to silence.
      Muslims lie, hate, kill and maim in the name of their god, and the atheists say nothing. In fact, I know a few atheists who still insist we need to be “tolerant” of them, and “dialogue” with them, to find out what they want, and why they hate us.

    Has Congress passed any laws forbidding a mention of religion in schools or elsewhere? If there are no laws forbidding a mention of God in public places, then God can be mentioned. If Congress does pass laws forbidding the mention of religion, they will have violated the First Amendment. Unconstitutional laws are, in fact, null and void.

What you really want is the removal of the cross. You want to ensure we cannot practice our religion. It is absurd to attempt to show equal representation of every major religion.

      What people? Most people acknowledge 9/11 as an attack on the United States, not on particular religions per se. The fact that most Americans identify themselves as Christian or Jewish and that all the perpetrators of the atrocity were radical Islamists never resulted in the Islamic “backlash” that many liberal and secular Americans predicted and clearly hoped for.

      I would agree… if there was an active representation of any other religion “or non religion” if it was truly a part of the storyline & history, I am behind that all the way, but minimizing the role of the cross or trying to exclude it all together is pre-emptivley changing the whole history of what happened there.

      That cross was extended to all faiths… of all gods not just christians to come together around… if someone doesn’t believe in any God or Jesus… try seeing it for what else it is… Two I-beams from the original tower with many of the names of the fallen, that meant something special to many of the people cleaning up & looking for loved ones as well as being special to many people across this country & around the world.

      No one is stopping Atheists from being represented in this case. They choose not to use a symbol to represent their faith because court “decisions about tax status have been based upon whether or not an organization functions like a church. On the other hand, establishment clause cases turn on whether the ideas or symbols are inherently religious.” Atheists believe if they have no symbol they will not be considered religious. Nothing could be further from the truth. They believe their symbol-less religion keeps them firmly planted on the state side of “separation of church and state.”

      It’s their decision to remain symbol-less although their ideas are inherently religious. Too bad the Humanist Manifesto wasn’t found among the rubble. They could place it side by side next to the cross.

      I make note of the fact that no Muslim symbols or relics, apparently, were found in the rubble of the towers. There were probably people of virtually all faiths represented, but it seems only Jewish and Christian symbols and such were found.
      Personally, I find this telling, because Jews and Christians worship the same God, only in different fashions.

They looked at it as a sign of divine oversight of what they were doing. A flag waw raised next to it. It gave them comfort and strength. Now you have a museum that will immortalize that cross and keep it in the national memory forevermore.

If they don’t believe, wouldn’t those symbols be no more significant than a street sign etc. Is there a symbol for atheists and do they want it displayed also? For the record, I am a Christian.

I was raised Catholic and a lot of my friends are still Catholic, so that’s why I let people be when it comes to religion. The only time I have a problem is when it is forced down people’s throats through public school or politics.

      There are several symbols used by various Athiests or athiestic organizations.

      As a fellow non-believer I concur.

      This cross did have meaning for alot of people after the attacks. It should be included in the memorial. These reactionary atheists make the rest of us look bad.

      However, it should be noted that cross-beams are standard in building construction. There is nothing “miraculous” that one of the thousands of cross-beams in the WTC remained in tact. Now if the beams had formed a perfect Latin translation of the Ten Commandments THEN the word “miracle” could be entertained.

      “The only time I have a problem is when it is forced down people’s throats through public school or politics.”

      I agree with both. Many don’t. Religion (no matter which one it is) or Non-Religon should not be taught in K-12 public schools. However, I don’t have a problem with Religious Studies classes offered at public colleges. The key factor being students can choose to take the class. If a parent wants their child to be taught religion – send them to a parochial school or classes thru church, synagogue etc. Or teach religion at home.

      Again, thank you all for thoughtful & respectful comments.

      I do have a problem with K-12 public schools providing any students “special” accommodations just because of their religion.

    ‘It’s History’: Bloomberg Defends 9/11 Memorial Cross

    I just wonder how long before some Gay couple wants to get married under it? Will you defend it against that Mike? Cause, I don’t think the 3000 that died were fighting for gay rights……….
