CHARLOTTE, N.C. - The billboard near the intersection of Boyer Street and the Billy Graham Parkway continues to receive a lot of attention for its message depicting an American flag with the words "One nation, indivisible.” Noticeably missing: the words "under God." However, some vandals have changed that... for now.

The North Carolina Secular Association is sponsoring the sign vandals defaced with spray paint The words "under God" were added below "One Nation Indivisible," with an arrow indicating their placement between "One Nation" and "Indivisible."

The billboard had first appeared Monday, June 21st.

Police were notified on Sunday and we're told an effort is underway to review security video recordings from the nearby gas station.

Will Warren, spokesperson for the Charlotte Atheists and Agnostics, the local ad sponsor, said, in an email, "We intend to restore this sign just like we are attempting to restore the original words to the Pledge of Allegiance. We've asked the billboard company to repair or replace the billboard this week."
