A Christian bookstore at a military base in North Carolina is drawing controversy after an activist called for its removal, alleging its presence is a violation of the Constitution’s Establishment Clause, requiring a separation between church and state. The activist has vowed legal action if the base’s commanding general does not take action to close down the store.

In September 2022, Josh Creson and his family opened Fairth2Soar, a Christian book and gift store, at a mini-mall on North Carolina’s Fort Bragg, now known as Fort Liberty. Once a captain, Mr. Creson served nearly nine years with the U.S. Army and deployed with the 82nd Airborne Division to Iraq in 2003.
