Hotel Removes Bibles from Hotel After Atheist Activists Complain

By Published on November 20, 2015

During a recent stay at the Holmes Student Center Hotel at Northern Illinois University in DeKalb, Illinois, atheist activists Annie Laurie Gaylor and Dan Barker “discovered” a Bible inside of their guest room — something that they found both “inappropriate and unconstitutional.”

The husband and wife — co-presidents of the Freedom From Religion Foundation — proceeded to direct Ryan D. Jayne, a fellow at their activist organization, to send a letter to the director of the Holmes Student Center, explaining why they believe that the Bibles are inappropriate inside accommodations at a public university.

“Providing Bibles to Holmes Student Center Hotel guests sends the message that NIU endorses the religious texts,” Jayne wrote. “Including Bibles sends the message to non-Christian and non-religious guests that they should read the Bible, and specifically the version of the bible provided: the Gideon Bible.”
