:First Amendment:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.
To state that ONLY NON-RELIGIOUS custom plates can be available would ABRIDGE the rights afforded citizens under this amendment. There is NOTHING in the First Amendment that states "Sepperation of Church & State" - that theory comes only from the writings of Thomas Jefferson - its certainly not in the constitution.
To deny access to specified types of plates would be discriminatory. Therefore, all forms of plates should be available - or none.

damn you and the that constitution thing....the jesus mobile would be a way cooler way to show your devotion, but fine you can have the plates
