Secular group seeks approval at N.D. Lutheran university:
Students at Concordia College in North Dakota are trying again to get their secular group approved. Leaders of the school have said the group’s goals are not consistent with the college’s mission. The school is connected to the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, and the proposed group would require members to join the American Atheists organization. Bjoern Kvernstuen, the group’s leader, says the group has 80 Facebook friends and they are starting a petition at the school.
