The story in short: a cross-like structure was found at Ground Zero, and became a symbol for some. A museum (run by a NGO) wants to exhibit it. American Atheists filed a lawsuit, arguing that this symbol gives a feeling of exclusion to non-christians and that it is a constitutional violation.
In my view, since the government isn't even involved, i do think American Atheists have been kind of wrong with that lawsuit...but i'm not sure.
