TALLAHASSEE -- Christians could soon be able to proclaim their faith on their license plates.

It's all under a bill making its way through the Florida Legislature.

The specialty plates would feature a cross over a stained-glass window with the words "I Believe" at the bottom of the plate.

Sen. Mike Fasano, a New Port Richey Republican is sponsoring the measure that would create four different plates - including the "I Believe" tag as well as a lighthouse tag and a "In God We Trust" plate.

The extra $25 Floridians would pay for the plate would go to a nonprofit group in Orlando called "Faith in Teaching" to support faith-based education.

Critics say putting Christian messages on  license plates would violate separation of church and state.
