Suit Seeks Bible Tax Break For All Spiritual Books

The American Civil Liberties Union has filed a lawsuit arguing that a Georgia law exempting the Bible and other "Holy Scripture" from sale taxes is discriminatory.

The lawsuit says the exemption should be extended to all publications dealing with the meaning of life.

The federal lawsuit was filed on behalf of Candace Apple, whose Phoenix and Dragon Bookstore in suburban Atlanta sells a witches' Bible for Wiccans and other spiritual books. Her co-plaintiff, Thomas Budlong, is the former president of the Georgia Library Association. Full Story
