That kind of thing would really make a lot of christians re-evaluate their hate of us, and really make people question if we really are so bad. And right now, I think that is probably the most important thing for us to do is improve our public image. Maybe if we weren’t hated so much, people would listen to us more often, then the other billboards actually begin to have good effects. But right now, the hate of atheists makes us not even a viable option for those who might be questioning their faith and want a way out. Lets become a viable option. Plus, children brought up that its ok to ask questions end up atheists more likely than those that don’t.

I mean think about it, the more questionable christian groups use ads like this all the time to help reverse their image. Mormons especially have to do a ton of this kind of advertising. I think it would help us a ton, as oppossed to making all of us feel better, and further alienating the hordes of christian masses.

By the way, regarding the one from Sweden above saying “Gud finns nog inte” (“There’s probably no god” in english). I don’t know if there are any other swedes hanging around here but if there are any, you might want to see this: Existens – del 6 | svtplay.se. It’s part 6 in a series called Existens ( “Existence” if that needs translation) about religion. This episode is about the swedish Humanist society who are responsible for that billboard.

I really enjoyed this post. I feel there needs to be more billboards like this.

I never met an Atheist that I did not like.

The replies to the newspaper article about the billboard in Florida have been downright venomous in some cases.

Fortunately that seems to be only about 10% of the respondents.

And here‘s a poster from the Danish Peoples Nihilist Party.

It reads: “Stop the Church Bells! Fuck your salvation- we have a hangover”

Freedom of speech and thought is the mortal enemy of all religions. That’s why they all work very hard to repress them.
