As a non Christian, I have seen nothing wrong with these banners. The messages are meant to inspire the players and fans and not a means to convert non believers. That the messages came from the Bible tells me that the cheerleaders were smart enough to find positive universal messages that anyone, regardless of their beliefs, can belive in.
Because religion is not taught in public schools, students do not get exposure to other religious beliefs. If schools were allowed to teach religon, other beliefs could be taught and perhaps the banners would include quotes from other religions.
Cheerleaders’ religious signs draw fire

The cheerleaders should have their banners back .
