OLYMPIA, Wash. - A controversial anti-religion placard was reported missing from the state Capitol Friday - then later found - and now the sign's sponsor wants the State Patrol to provide special protection for it when it is returned.
The uproar came as several other groups clamored for permission to post their own holiday displays at the state Capitol.
The anti-religion sign, posted by the Freedom From Religion Foundation in Madison, Wis., was reported missing Friday morning then was turned over to a Seattle radio station by an unidentified man at about 10 a.m.
Annie Laurie Gaylor, a spokesman for Freedom from Religion, says she was told a Washington state trooper is returning the atheistic sign to Olympia, where it will resume its place next to a Christmas tree and a Christian nativity scene at the Capitol Rotunda.
Gaylor says she's requesting special protection for the sign during the remainder of the holiday season.
A receptionist with radio station KMPS said an unidentified man dropped off the missing atheistic sign and asked that it be turned over to one of the station's hosts who had been discussing the sign on his morning talk show.
The placard has sparked a national firestorm of protest in the midst of the holiday season, and prompted a well-known local pastor to post a pro-religion sign Friday near the site where the anti-religion sign had been.
Applications also were OK'd for four other displays at the state Capitol in the coming days, including one honoring "Festivus," a faux holiday made popular by comedian Jerry Seinfeld.

This is getting absolutely ridiculous. They need to get a life. And quickly since they won’t have one when they are gone according to their own beliefs!
they should expect to be treated like any other animal in the wild. They can’t appeal to morality. If they can’t protect their stuff, someone else will take it and they starve.
