Buffalo Grove, Ill., resident, Rob Sherman, said that if the state offers "In God We Trust" plates, it should also offer "God is Make-Believe" plates, the State Journal-Register, a Springfield, Ill., newspaper, reported Monday.

The state House of Representatives bill for the plates was passed last week in a 105-3 vote.

Sherman said he refused to put a plate referencing God on his vehicle "but if some Christian wants it on their car, that's fine."

The bill reportedly would allow drivers to purchase the distinct plates for a $20 fee, a portion of which would be contributed to the Illinois Military Relief Fund for armed forces members.

"You don't want the plates, you don't need to buy them. It's a potential source of revenue for military families and indicates a wonderful message. I would anticipate there would be broad-based support (in the Senate)," state Rep. John Bradley, D-Marion, told the newspaper.
