"Don't believe in God?" a bright blue billboard with images of puffy white clouds asks. "You are not alone."
The 20-by-60-foot sign alongside I-95 was designed by a group of area atheists as an invitation to join the Greater Philadelphia Coalition of Reason, or PhillyCoR, the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
"If you don't ... [h]undreds of thousands of your neighbors in the Delaware Valley feel the same as you do," the organization's website declares.
Steve Rade, president of Wireless Accessories, Inc., gave the $22,500 to fund the billboard May 1, and he plans to keep it there until the end of August.
"Our mission is not to convince fundamentalists to change their position," Rade said. "What we want to do is give people questioning their beliefs a place to go for more information and to meet like-minded people."
PhillyCoR describes itself as a "joint effort to help you connect to local freethought and humanist groups near you; to provide you with information and a sense of community; to give you a way to combine your voice with others who are ready to move society forward."
Rade grew up as a Jew, but he told the Inquirer he is "absolutely certain" God and eternal life do not exist.
"I'd like everyone to believe what I do," he said. "I think it would be a better world if they did."

A man in denial...
God does not believe in Atheists!
Remember when The Humanists turned the Churches of France into Temples of Reason? History in hindsight calls that era The Reign of Terror.
Oh yes you are.
Interesting that Athiests believe they have a monopoly on Reason when in fact, if Reason is valid...i.e. is a thought process independent of irrational material forces, and not just the epiphenomenon of those irrational forces, that in itself is proof of a Mind behind and outside of the material universe....in other words.....gasp...God!
I know I’m generalizing, but why have so many Jews rejected the God of their fathers and supplanted it with the new religion of liberalism and socialism? Don’t they know the shackles they are binding themselves with?
And lets not forget the body counts of the atheist regimes of Stalin, Mao, and Pol Pot
What a perfect opportunity to witness. Put up a billboard next to it with something about ....You are never alone. God is always with you and loves you. call(....hope...)

But God loves them all the same.
The story of God’s love is the greatest story of unrequited love ever written.
Ha ha ha...An evangelistic atheist!
I guess that's possible. Last I heard, no more than 5% of people are atheists. But with 300 million people in the U.S., that's still quite a few.
So much for tolerance and celebrating diversity. Just another little dictator.
“It would be a better world...”
Yeah, we have seen what the “age of reason” (ie, atheism) has gotten us in the last century - about 600 million people murdered in order to perfect society.
There will come a time when there will be no atheists.
Only fools say in their hearts,
“There is no God.”
They are corrupt, and their actions are evil;
not one of them does good!
Psalms 53:1 (NLT)
Kinda sums it up to perfection, eh?
“he told the Inquirer he is “absolutely certain” God and eternal life do not exist”
He is going to be SO p*ssed when he finds out he was wrong!
"... he told the Inquirer he is "absolutely certain" God and eternal life do not exist."
In order to be absolutely certain that God does not exist Mr. Rade would have to do a simultaneous search of the entire universe, which is impossible for him to do because he is a finite being. Maybe Mr. Rade is under the impression that he is an infinite being. Wait...
Cordially,
Good point.
