While many Christians will indeed be doing just that, there are also many churches that put up Christian billboards at this time of year with religious messages. If an atheist organization is fair game for criticism for putting up a billboard rather than donating the money to help the poor, than so is a Christian organization.
I honestly have never seen a billboard erected by a church. I agree the money could be better spent.
I haven't seen one these yet (I live near Sacramento), these are put up on places like bus stops and sides of buses. Just look at what the same group does in NYC.
It's not the same as a Church putting up a Christmas message on their own billboard on Church property.
Do you see the difference? Putting up a sign on a church's billboard is probably a matter of finding the right letters and putting them up correctly. These 'freedom from religion' whakjobs are paying money to put this up in public places.
I know my Church spends a lot of time and donations to help the needy but they don't put up a sign about it. So, I don't see how you can say they are both the same, they're not.

Nonsense. The Atheist is not the agnostic. The Atheist attacks religious liberties.
Atheists are idiots.
Yeah, if the Christian organization is putting up billboards INSTEAD of helping the poor.
