Republican Arizona Governor Doug Ducey has resisted demands from a secular group to take down a Facebook post where he sent Easter greetings and cited a Bible verse to celebrate the religious event.

Earlier this week, the Secular Communities of Arizona, who describe themselves as an organization to ensure secular government, called on Ducey to remove the post—which says, “He is risen! Have a happy and blessed Easter!” and includes an image of a cross and bible verse—and claimed the post was unconstitutional as it had allegedly breached the church and state separation.
